How is a ridiculous lawsuit like this possible??

A woman that we've never seen before is suing us. Apparently, she fell on the street and claims it was because we put boxes of our merchandise on display on the sidewalk. We have never, EVER put anything on the sidewalk, and the ambulance records show that she fell 5 stores away from us. She lost her case, so now she's appealing it. This time, she changed her story and she's claiming to have fallen INSIDE our store, but supposedly, none of us remember seeing it. What is she going to say, that all 4 of us were in the bathroom at the same time?!? She wants us to pay her $450,000. I want to know how the heck this case, and then the appeal, got through!

Those who allowed it through - and the woman herself - are STUPID MFs, just like the Mindless Self Indulgence song.

She just wants money - DON'T GIVE IN TO HER!

Any body can say anybody for anything. You can also sue her for malicious litigation. She' probably can't win. You maybe can.

I would do a name search on her at the court to see if she has a history of filing lawsuits such as this. After the court sees a trend, she will be labeled a "frivolous litigant" and would need the court's permission to file any additional lawsuits. At least this is how it is in Cali.

People like her aren't really looking for $450K. They just hope you will give them something to make them go away. And lots of times that's what a business will do.

I wouldn't worry about it...hire a PI to find out if she's a con artist or a dope addict !


D.W.W.
frivolous cases are common.
People will sue for anything.
File a counter claim for damages including legal fees and slander.
you have a good case to prove fraud and malicious intent also.


Pixil
Anyone can sue anyone over anything.
And after losing anyone can appeal. It appears you have a strong case but unfortunately still have to respond and fight it.
Since she lost the original case get a trasnscript/ruling ASAP.
That will show her original claim and testimony.
The fact she changed her story works well for you.
Best wishes.

You need to file a formal complaint against the attorney representing this woman. You can file a complaint with your State Bar Association.


fateridder
don't you have cameras ? if not hire a good lawyer and counter sue her for everything she has , this lawsuit if she wins will cripple your store and income and you might be forced to close down , counter sue to show not only her but others you will not be dealing with utter nonsense .


evilkidstevey
Hopefully this doesnt make it to court and is treated as a frivolous lawsuit.


eminembolism
Her suit is obviously groundless. When she's found to be a fraud, she will be responsible for court costs -- including your attorney's fees.

Good luck.

SCAM ARTIST. They are everywhere looking to get a good buck. The law unfortunately caters to these people (ie. remember the one who split hot scalding coffee on her lap while driving through McD's). Ugh some people need a real husband with a good income, and GOD. So sorry.

"Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers" 1 Tim 1:9 KJV

God I love America. Her case will probably be thrown out just as fast as her last one. The only reasone papers are being drawn up is because some dopey lawyer believes her and wants money. But as frivoulous as this lawsuit is it won't make it past the judge.


Whitney Danielle
with our legal system anything is possible but it is ridiclous and her new story wont count and w/o witnesses her case is dead


Rachel
That is soo dumb! I can't believe any one would do that..thats just sad. She's only doing this for money..its so obivous.


devildiver
i think that you are just fighting a old woman who is just greedy. She thinks that she could get money by just falling. I thought of numerous times how to sue people. They all work but tell her that she needs proof. ask where is the proof and do the police have the boxes? Do you mark all your boxes? If so then get the marked kind of boxes and go on court. Compare them and look at the symbols, coat of arms, or just the bar codes. When you scan them, they should have the info on where the boxes went.

I have heard each year over 130,000 lawyers pass the bar in their given states. They have to earn money some way.
