Just When You Thought The McDonald's Hot Coffee Lawsuit Was The Dumbest Thing

[Buster]

Along comes this goodie....

ANDERSON, S.C. — A jury has awarded a South Carolina woman more than $4.6 million after she was stuck by a needle picked up in a Target parking lot.
Before Carla Denise Garrison’s lawsuit against Target Corp. went to trial, her lawyer offered to settle with the retailer for $12,000, but the offer was rejected. If the amount stands, it would be one of the largest awarded in the history of Anderson County litigation, according to Clerk of Court Richard Shirley.
Garrison, of Anderson, said Friday that she was “too overwhelmed” to talk about the case.


According to court documents, Garrison’s injury happened in May 2014 in the parking lot of a Target Anderson.
Garrison had parked and gotten out of her vehicle when her then 8-year-old daughter, Kaileigh, picked up a hypodermic needle. Garrison swatted the needle out of her daughter’s hand. When she did that, the needle stuck her in her right palm, according to court documents.

that hot coffee lawsuit was no joke

I thought the same for years until I saw a documentary about it

How much will Vlad get......that was his needle.

Obviously her real damages were not in the 4M ballpark. Which leads me to believe a large part of this judgement is punitive. I'm trying to figure out where Target was grossly negligent to the tune of millions of dollars.

What? Frivolous lawsuits have been going on forever. Quit blaming everything on liberalism ......it's pretty pathetic.

You would be correct...I would think the lady is probably a republican,because originally she only sought 12,000(american) for Dr. bills...See,that is the way most normal people think..The jury delivered the 4 million verdict...I personally do not think the lady was entitled to the 12k she was looking for,but what do I know..

It's bullshit.....that we know. But this kinda stuff has been going on for a very long time and it's not just some liberal mindset. Those kind of comments are silly......dems and repubs have plenty of greedy people trying to get something for nothing. Hell, CNBC made an entire show about it called American Greed.....and I don't think they profile many liberals.

The grocery store i frequent has like 10 parking spaces reserved for people with children and every time I go over 1/2 are not occupied...Fuck you and your children...They also have expectant mothers,vets etc...Now they want someone from the store to check parking lot for needles etc....We are fucked....

 

[TheComputerGroup]

Target should have paid the 12k.......lmao@ offering her only $750

 

[SECplayer]

The odds of this woman actually getting $4.6 million is still zero.

 

[HacheMan]

Target can afford the $4.6 million with all of the money they make from charging more for so much of the exact stuff you can get 25-40% less at Walmart...

I thought the coffee lawsuit was a joke too; then I saw the documentary.
the lady's injuries were horrendous and mcdonald's was incredibly
negligent.
