Can you sue Yahoo if they hurt you?

-_-' It's not Yahoo that would hurt you, it'd be the people on it. Idiot. Anyway, no, you can't. You're here of your own free will, aren't you?

Dennis Gess

um-

why is this in Marriage & Divorce? were you married to yahoo?

Bill

If Yahoo as a corporation intentionally or negligently inflicts severe emotional distress upon you, then they are liable in tort. Punitive damages are possible, depending on the nature of the harm caused.

Okay, that's the legal answer. For those of us who live in a place I like to call "reality," the answer is no.

nope/'/

no one FORCED you to be on here..
if you dont like what ppl have to say..

then you dont have to be here..

but you would get laughed out of court for trying

how would Yahoo be able to mentally and emotionally hurt you?

howie r

sure.. if a web site hurts your feelings you can sue them for millions. just go down to court and file the papers.

Now a days you can sue anyone. How could you sue Yahoo unless you work for them or something? Yahoo is used by people for various things. Is a person bothering you? When you sue someone or a company you have to be very specific to win your case.

uh...hurt by a webservice provider.....

ya might want to rethink your approach to life.

meestaben

only if you can convince a judge that the actual company caused you a real damage. However, I assume someone hurt you while using yahoo. If that is the case you would have to try to sue the person who utilized yahoo in the process of hurting you. It is like, I cannot sue Toyota if a drunk driver uses one of their products to run into me. I would have to try to go after the driver.

So you had some chocolate drinks today?
YAHOOOOO

What did Yahoo do to you?

buffytou

You can sue anyone for anything whenever you want. YOu just might not win.

bk2texas

You can sue anyone for anything in this country. You need to find a lawyer willing to take the case and then hope a judge doesn't throw it out. But, simply put, you can file suit. Will you win? Hmm....

Brown'n

UV GOT TO BE KIDDING?

chrissy

not unless they hurt you physicaly. the court will look at you like you have two heads. you aren't being that specific in this question so can't really help you sorry.

keithleyjustin

Daniel N

probably, us americans like to sue everyone and everything

Richard F

How can Yahoo hurt you?

You CAN sue Yahoo for anything.....whether or not you would win is a different story.

If you were offended here on Yahoo Answers, the odds of you winning against Yahoo is close to impossible.

TheCrucifiction

i would need more informatiion to give any advice . and you had put nothing there so im saying no .

Trying2BNice

You like drama, don't you [level 4]

president poodle

Just U

I love you you make me laugh. yeah lets sue them together and lets sue some of the users for being so stupid we can start with wishmaster!!!

Brother Odd

I think you can just about sue anyone for anything... winning is a different matter...

EJ W

maybe if it was class action---recruit other hurt folks

AM-NM centaur

You can sue anyone for any reason whatsoever. Your chances of prevailing depend upon the strength of your case and how well you communicate that to the judge and/or jury.

I don't recall the exact language of the Yahoo! Terms of Service
<>.http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/utos/utos-173.html>. However, they probably require you to go through binding arbitration. Some states say this language cannot limit your rights.

Damn, missed another Troll alert. Forgot to check age of profile and points.

lost man

if you ask a question here, and you rec'd answers that made you felt this way, then you should be thankful to those who made it a point to answer rather than sue.

it is your feelings. not intention of those who answered.
