Todays thought...this sue happy world. I know...I know...again with another blog about that. But this time it involves my friend Saturn.

She was told that she is being sued by someone in her home state for an accident that happened over 2 years ago that though she was not directly effected in this accident she was supposedly the cause of an accident due to a chain reaction.

Trying to make a left hand turn into a driveway she put on her blinker 200 yards before the turn in. (Hold the phones and call the press...someone who knows the purpose of the blinker and follows the 100 foot rule)...Anyway, the person behind her was not paying attention so to avoid hitting her, he pulled around her and caused an accident including 4 vehicles.

She was given a ticket for causing the thing when she was not the one to cause it and further hired a lawyer and got the ticket thrown out...because it wasn't her fault. Stupid cop I guess. (Dont take that wrong because my brother in law is a cop...and he is NOT stupid). On the court date for this ticket, the third party involved (The one trying to sue right now) showed up in the court room. Now mind you this was an entire month after the accident. After the lawyer talked to her, she left the room before the case was even discussed.

....Now keep in mind in all of this that I have not fore mentioned yet...the third party trying to sue was not even driving in this whole thing. Her mother was. Further more...when she got out of the vehicle she made a point to everyone to make sure that all knew...she was not injured at all and she was ok....

So now...after all of everything and more than 2 years, she is trying to sue my friend...for injuries. Now let me just tell all of you out there that do not know, my little brother was in an accident that was his fault. He ran a stop sign and t-boned someone in a tow truck. The truck rolled and ofcorse the driver was taken to the hospital. The truck driver was truely injured in all of this. Federal Law gave that driver 1 year to file a lawsuit. 1 YEAR!!!! This is more than 2 years! And to top that...not only was she not driving...SHE WASN'T EVEN HURT!!!!

Now I say to you...don't you think that after 2 years, hell, after 1 year that if you really had any injuries, you would have taken this to court already? This would not even stand up in the Peoples Court, Judge Joe Brown, or Texas Justice. Why? It's been too long! And more than that...it wasn't Saturns fault.

I will keep postings about this...so in the fateful words of one of my favorite shows...stay tuned.
