Student Suing Dropzone A Few Years Back

Recommended Posts

Quote

I know the US of A is behind the curve on Tort Reform, but If I may ask, what kept the aforementioned Dropzone from Counter-Suing for their costs in defending such a frivolous lawsuit?



Probably the Court of Public Opinion. Can you imagine the news story: "Woman has accident at skydiving facility - her parachute didn't open!! The poor, injured woman attempts to sue, but is told she signed a waiver, so no luck!

And NOW the SKYDIVING FACILITY is suing the VICTIM of this HORRIBLE accident for EVERYTHING SHE OWNS!!!"

(Gotta love the media spin.) >:(


On another note, glad your Bro got out of it (sounds like he did...?) The money would be nice, but living with those sorts of in-laws would make my soul hurt...

Wrong.
If you don't know, why do you pretend to?


Who's pretending to know anything? Did the word "probably" not register? :S

(Since no one's mentioned the name of the actual DZ in question, I'm completely operating in the hypothetical. I'm guessing it was in Utah, as that's where Bozo hails from...but that's all I know here. Never professed to know any different. If we want to talk outside the hypothetical, we should maybe start by pointing out what exactly it is that we're talking about. Meantime, given the way the media traditionally portrays our sport, I think my guess is pretty plausible as to why a DZ wouldn't countersue...)

As Unstable said above, care to contribute/enlighten us about this specific situation, instead of just shooting things down?
