I can't believe this officer - suing a family for her suffering...UNREAL!!

This is crazy but typical of today's society. The officer was called on a drowning case she should have suspected there would be water involved and been prepared. Second it happened while she was on duty her workmans comp should cover the damages and medical. I don't see how on earth they can hold the family responsible for her doing her job or her not doing her job properly.

Oh my gosh! That is stupid! Of course there was water in the house, they just pulled the boy out of a pool!! My gosh! I just can't imagine any judge granting her any amount of money from that family!

This world has become "sue crazy" ..people are out to get as much as they can out of one another..Where is the love and concern over this dying son..surely that was all forgotten ..Selfish people!

I would laugh if it wasn't so damn true! What a state the world is in now with the sue culture. Seems no one wants to take responsibility and anyone, anywhere whatever the situation or event will sue! It's beggar's belief that this has happened and it just rubs salt in the wounds. A sign of the times sadly and things will never improve. A lot of nerve, very true but sadly there will be lawyers only too happy to take the case in question.

Remember the ladies who tried to sue McDonalds for making them gain weight after eating lunch there every day. This stuff is crazy. I am confused to all of the suing that people are doing. I guess that anyone can pretty much try to sue anyone else.

The homeowner's insurance policy (insurance company) will have to pay. The insurance company should be paying if someone broke a bone. They should cover her medical costs and pay for pain and suffering. I broke by elbow in June and it is still very painful and causing me problems (I still can't straighten it). That's why we have to have homeowners insurance. Do you think everyone should pay for the insurance, month after month, year after year, and the insurance company should never have to pay a claim? Don't insurance cos have enough money???

She should have known that in an emergency, you are in a hurry. Look the poor boy now is brain damaged, has probably the mentality of a two year old and that will b permanent. What did she want to have happen, the boy to die? I hope that the lawyer dismisses the case. It is not worth the court's time, and what about the family? He might have been their only son. Have they not suffered enough?

"She has a lot of nerve" ...that's putting it mildly! Would she have also sued the battered wife if she got hurt during a domestic assault case? Maybe an accident victim had she cut herself on broken glass or twisted metal trying to get the victim out of the wreck? Or I know, she could sue the family of a murder victim for HER mental anguish caused by working the case. People like this really infuriate me. She voluntarily agreed to become an officer. She knew all the potential risks. There is no excuse for people like that.

The officer should of been more careful and that is not the womans fault for bringing her wet son into her home to try and revive him. Man, anything for a buck aye? unbelievable.!

Its all a result of living in a litigious society, bonbon. People would rather sue their neighbor than try and reach an amicable agreement anymore. It is shameful that a "public servant" would stoop to this level. And, as you said, no self-respecting lawyer would even consider taking such a case.

That is horrid the cop should be slapped. Maybe she should have watched were she was going. That would be like a fireman sueing someone because when he put out their fire he got smoke inhalation on accident. -Amber
