So the people in here disagreeing with the Dentist suing.....are you saying that if a plane flew into your house or a car crashed through your front door, you wouldn't sue? I hardly think you would just be like oh well.

Re: scumbag of the month award

then along those lines, should the US gov't sue saudi arabia, pakistan, afghan and jordan for 55+ billion>? cuz that is the estimated losses incurred in NYC.

the guy has insurance, sue for the deductible. not 7 million in damages.

If that was the case wouldn't the insurance company then sue the estate. ??

btw bit hard proving a case for NYC to sue!

It's been 3-4 months already, do you think the dentist has just been sitting there doing nothing the whole time?

Have you ever taken the time to read the details of that case? If so then you wouldn't be drawing an analogy because you would understand that McDonalds was negligent.

Sorry to draw this off on a tangent.... But was this the case where the woman was driving around with fresh hot McDonald's coffee between her legs and spilled it all over herself? And some jury gave the equivalent of a mid-sized lotto winning for it?

Actually we must be talking about two different cases. First of all the woman wasn't driving, so you obviously haven't read the details of the case. Second of all, McDonalds was found negligent for serving its coffee at 180-190 degrees Farenheit. Thirdly, the woman attempted to settle with McDonalds for only the costs of her medical treatment (which took 2 years mind you) and McDonalds declined; as they had during several other incidents such as this involving the temperature of their coffee.

HOME OWNER'S INSURANCE OR RENTER'S INSURANCE!! think about it... the doc's insurance should be paying for his losses. if he doesn't have it, he's a fucking idiot. i feel horrible for corey's poor wife having to suffer through this on top of everything else she has gone through.

on the other hand, put yourself in his shoes... if you have the right to sue and you had $7mil damage because of negligence....................................

I'm definitely with Garrick on this one. The asshole should have enough insurance to cover this kind of thing.

Interesting...some things I really did not know about this case (no, I hadn't read much about it). Thanks for the info...I stand corrected and I'm with you on that one now.
