I have dealt with some good ones and some that are not so good. And I am not a lawyer! Bruce Date: 07/25/17 10:09 Re: FL-Woman killed in Brightline incident Author: jst3751 DFWJIM Wrote:

Well there is a teenage boy that had both legs get cut off because he was tresspassing and he is filing a lawsuit against everyone blaming everyone but him: No fences, no signs, no camera on the locomotive that could have allowed the enginer to have seen him earlier, not enough horn blowing, etc etc. Braught to you by the local scumbag lawyer.

Date: 07/25/17 12:13 Re: FL-Woman killed in Brightline incident Author: Lackawanna484 Attractive nuisance can be very lucrative in court. The property owner has to prove they actually secured their property, not the other way around. Anybody who has a swimming pool knows how that works.

Neither are the trespasser/railroad accidents. One idealism taught in school is that lawsuits are supposed to act as a deterrent against repeat accidents, and I see no sign of that happening. Seems catering to the lawsuits (fencing up, cameras, security guards, etc.) is just a waste. Not trying to undermine programs like Operation Lifesaver, but overall, you can't sue to stop a society from degenerating.

Not disagreeing with you, but many juries see a jackpot in any lawsuit. Stick it to the man and all that nonsense.
