FLORENCE, Mont. – A bicyclist who was injured when he hit a patch of ice and crashed on a pedestrian/bike path in Florence last winter has reached an out-of-court settlement worth nearly $100,000.

The president of the Florence Park District says he's disappointed in a system that allows a man riding a motorized bicycle on a winter night on a trail that doesn't allow motorized vehicles to receive an insurance settlement. Half of the settlement came from a Florence bar because snow was pushed onto the trail when the bar parking lot was plowed.

John Cornish tells the Ravalli Republic for a story published Monday that people should know riding a bike at night in winter is a little dangerous.

Americans are, for the most part, pathetic. Don Henley was right--from the OWS fucks to bottom feeders like this guy.....

"You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash,
but you might feel better if they gave you some cash.
The more I think about it ol' Billy was right
Lets kill all the lawyers...kill 'em tonight.
Don't wanna work, wanna live like a king
But the big bad world doesn't owe you a thing!"

A motorized bicycle?

I think it's safe to assume that if you are too lazy to ride a bike without a motor to do the pedaling for you... you would be the type to sue when you crash your motorized bicycle.

And we continue to give these types money and wonder why our country is in decline?

I"m gonna spill hot coffee in my lap. It's been a while since somebody got cash out of that scheme.

The famous "spilling coffee in lap" lawsuit was a pretty legit suit, imo.

Yeah, it's rare to expect a cup of coffee:
1. To be hot
2. Burn if spilled on your skin

Maybe we should just outlaw sharp scissors and go back to the type we had in elementary school. Either that or spray paint "pointy - do not touch or run" on them.

Of course you would you fucking flaming liberal.

It's not expected coffee will be as hot as McDonald's mandated their company serve it... way above the temperature that your average cup of coffee is served. If served at normal temperature... the coffee would not have caused such severe burns on the elderly lady from the famous case. McDonald's had hundreds of complaints and claims about the ridiculously hot coffee... but, did nothing about it. It wasn't as simple a case as "oops, I spilt coffee on myself. I will sue now." McDonald's was negligent in serving coffee at seriously dangerous temperatures, knowing the temperatures were dangerous, and doing nothing about it.

Your scissor analogy doesn't work unless there was something defective with the scissors... that the company that made them KNEW was defective... and did nothing about it.

Amazing that this lady was the only person to get burned by such a dangerous product.

I expect my coffee to be hot, and I don't pour on my lap regardless of temperature. People need to take responsibility for their fuck ups. An old lady spilling her coffee on herself while operating a motor vehicle isn't McDonalds' fault.

In the liberal world, nothing is EVER their fault. Don't you get that?

I guess Ursus is a liberal, 'cause I remember him posting the documentary about that case, and how it was severely misrepresented in the media.

Uh. She wasn't. Must have missed the part about the hundreds of other people that had complaints or claims against McDonald's that the company had on file.

Me too. And, I'm not saying the woman didn't have responsibility. Neither did the jury or court that ruled in her favor.

The judgment was reduced because she shared responsibility.

I'm not saying it was all McDonald's fault. If you spill coffee on yourself... it's your fault. No doubt about it. If that coffee causes 3rd degree burns, you have to spend a week in the hospital getting skin grafts... that isn't your fault. McDonald's shared the responsibility.

I don't know what temperature McDonalds coffee is served at now, but I got a large cup the other day and couldn't even TOUCH that shit for about 75 miles until it cooled down enough to actually start sipping.

Guess I shoulda spilled it on my lap and made a cool 'mil.

VandalFan doesn't realize he's part of the problem. An adequate municipal revenue stream (taxes) could have paid for someone to deal with the snow, and this wouldn't have happened.

G, you're mother here: Pick up and deliver a pizza to me and D1B. He wants an order hot wings/extra blue cheese. He said he'll pay you back once our baby is born. I can't wait. Thanks son, I love you!

I cannot wait to come and slip on your mat in your doorway and sue you.




Anyone see the common thread (haha) around here as of late?

Yeah, but at least it's legitimate.

Gotta be racist...throwing the blacks in there. Native Americans would have been a better choice.
