Nicola has filed a lawsuit against the National Audubon Society, which owns the sanctuary, saying it didn't keep the boardwalk clean or warn the public about a slippery surface. The lawsuit seeks compensation for her injuries.

Doesn't seem frivolous.

Especially since most people are looking up at the birds and not down at their feet.

It's a bird sanctuary with a wooden board walk over a wetland. Common sense should prevail; you shouldn't need to be told it might be slippery.

If she was a long time Bon Jovi fan this would never have happened.

If she had sued because she slipped on bird crap out in public, this would definitely be a retarded lawsuit.

Instead, she's suing the people who are probably liable for the injury, so the only retarded thing here is subby.

I bet they didn't specifically warn her that the ground was hard, either. Maybe she should double down on the lawsuit.

I wrecked my bike one time. I think I'll sue Lance Armstrong.

That headline is for the birds.

Bullshiat. Have you ever been to an Audubon Sanctuary? It is woods with trails. You don't look up at birds without paying attention to where you are going unless you are standing in a bird blind. It isn't a farking movie.

WHAT?

I eat organic shredded wheat for breakfast. It gives me the occasional massive bowel movement. I should sue!!

Feed her to the vultures.

FARK is full of law students, subby. In law-law-land there is no personal responsibility, and the blame always goes to the biggest pocket, no matter how many degrees of separation it takes to get there.

Ugh, another idiot suing because she couldn't be bothered to watch where she was stepping. Bird shiat, ice in the middle of winter, pebbles...all the people suing because they couldn't be bothered to watch where they step should be shot and converted to biofuel so they can serve some kind of purpose.

That takes ball.

You go, girl! I hope she puts those bastards out of business! We all know the Audobon Society is just a bunch of money-hungry weasels who are only in it for the money.

She should sue gravity for being so attractive.
She should sue her legs for being attached to a dumbass.
She should sue her own body for being so fragile.
She should sue matter for not having the density of marshmallows.

// The world needs to have an outreach program with bullets to various organs for people like this.

Boardwalk in question. Couldnt she have..you know, used the handrails?

Just so you know, these people are why the future is
soylent green

Suicidal Writer: Doesn't seem frivolous.

Yes it does.

"I need the biggest seed bell you have. No that's too big."

If she had one of these robots to catch her it never would have happened. She should sue Jelte van Geest for being such a slow inventor.

I'm sorry officer for the speeding violation, I'm so used to driving on the Audubon.

You nut, you.

This is one of those politically divisive stories. On the one hand she is nanny suing because she wont take responsibility for her own actions. Om the other hand she is suing a hippie borne ecology driven entity.

It's not like they'll give her the bird.

Sanctuary!

One time when I worked at Domino's and my mom came to the store to give me something, she slipped and shattered her kneecap walking out. My boss was so scared she was gonna sue. She didn't, of course because that litigious attitude is lame.

/Personal responsibility FTW

/Can I sue???

You become funnier than anything on Family Guy.

My kid was running on a boardwalk once and fell, breaking a bone in her arm. I was carting her away when someone came up and said "I'd sue if I were you!". I asked why..."because they didn't protect her from falling". *sigh* The kid started to run, I said no running, walk, it's slippery. She walked...then took off and fell. No need to sue because she didn't listen. Like I told her...shiny surfaces can make you slip, don't run on them. She learned her lesson, life goes on.

Suing? Give me a f'ing break. Take some personal responsibility, people.

kiwigal: Ooh I nearly choked on my lunch!!

Yes, yes you can, and FARK has a lot of lawyers that would help you to do so.

CheddarPants and phlegmmo may not have any money though, you might have to sue FARK just to be sure.

I've been to this place a bunch of times on school trips. She slipped on bird crap on an outdoor wooden boardwalk. It wasn't even slippery in December. Talk to me in August when its raining a few inches every afternoon. How is this anyone else's fault!?

Oh thats right. United States of Litigation.

Did she use a lawyer and a judge to take it away from you?

I'm Farking at work. Can I sue Drew after my boss fires me for clicking on a rugbyjock pic?

A lot of work to dig her up.

Holden C: FARK is full of law students, subby. In law-law-land there is no personal responsibility, and the blame always goes to the biggest pocket, no matter how many degrees of separation it takes to get there.

It doesn't take that many degrees of separation, since the Audubon Society owns the park. The suit may or may not prevail, but if you own a park or a store and let the public in, you have to take reasonable measures to keep it safe for guests. For the same reason that Kroger has to put up a wet floor sign after they mop.

FARK is also full of radical "responsibility" fetishists who would argue if someone sued after getting shot that the dumbass victim should have gotten out of the way.

Glad I have finished my lunch or I would have to add a new monitor to my lawsuit :P
