No relation to me. Trust me on this.

Oh please. Give her 5 bucks and tell her to sit down.

No seriously: if she has medical problems, the state should pay for it. Nothing more. It's not the state's fault she didn't have the strength to deal with a disaster.

"God bless America, land that I love..."

Since I was a few hundred miles away at the time, I was slightly less traumatized. I figure about .0001% or $20k if this lady gets hers.

Gnarland in case you weren't aware, the US gubmint has been slipping a narcotic salve into the fabric of our money for years. If you are "injured" you can make the pain go away by rolling around on a big pile of cash.

Well she missed two days of work. Who knew the average rate for a crack whore was 100 million a day?

So when can I sue someone for making giving me brown hair and brown eyes, I cant get laid because girls say its like staring into shiat.


Oh and I cant sleep. I can't sleep at all.

ugly-ass woman gives birth to ugly-ass lawsuit. Ugly-ass beating hopefully to ensue.

Don't forget her pimp will get 60-75% of her settlement to help pay for the "protection" contract.

Oh wait, shiat, she might sue me for assuming she is a prostitute because of how skanky she looks..fook..did i say skanky? i meant seasoned....errrr....experienced....

off to call his lawyer to discuss the incoming lawsuit

She'll see 25 G's if she's lucky. I hope she gets squat, people like her are the reason the rest of us have to pay ridiculous insurance rates. Fark her.

Seriously though....we should start a class action suit against farwads that sue for ridiculous things like this. We could sue for emotional distress, and trauma. After all, losing your faith in humanity is somewhat taxing. Then we could give most of it back to the defendants, and use the rest to put up billboards with pictures of these morons telling everyone what they sued for and how much.

Before I pass judgement on this woman, I'd like to see a picture of her appearance PRIOR to the accident. Who knows? Maybe she looks like hell because of her "trauma".

Too bad she wasn't a casualty. Perhaps someone will rectify that problem.

Sometimes I need to remind myself that there are reasons I am trying to find a job in New York. Finding this woman and slapping her upside the head is one of them.

I want $500M for emotional trauma after seeing her pic attached to the article.

We are all due something for having to look at her face.

CanadianCommie

the torso kid should be getting the money

Oh my, that may be the coldest line I've ever read in the Fark forums. As a result I'm suing you for $26.50 for a new keyboard and a fresh cup of tea. Your welcome to join me for cards in the club car of the helltrain.

wow - another leech bankrupting our city. when she wins the city will be forced to cut all our homeless programs and mental services. she can spend her winnings on paying people to light cigarettes and stub them out on homeless people.

Also....

SI has one of the highest cancer rates because of landfill dumping.
I wonder if she will sue for living near Fresh Kills Landfill which expels toxic waste every day.

Could someone please tell me how this is the city's fault?

Also, I still have trouble figuring out why these jurors that get paid next to nothing feel compelled to hand out these rediculous awards.

Get a life, honey. Why should a city that already has a lot bigger problems be forced to pay you $200 mil?

I was having a lot of respect for New Yorkers and the way they were dealing with everything on their plate. But asshats like these people are starting to sway my feelings again.

I'm surprised this biatch never tried to sue the city after 9/11 for the trauma she must have gone through after watching the towers fall...

Dr Denis Leary can cure her.

Shut the FARK UP! NEXT!

She should go to Irag and really be traumatized. Nothing like having some guy blown to pieces by some terroist asshole.

If she gets $200 mil for that, then FARK.COM owes me a couple thousand easy...

Well, the city hired the ferry captain, and employers are generally liable for the negligence of their employees.

OMG!!! Look at her face! She must have had her head out the window when the ferry hit the pier. $200 million won't even come close to fixin' that mug.

Bears a striking resemblance to:



Neither can sleep;
and they both just want to be on TV

Let the court games... begin!

Hell, I never take the SI Ferry, but hearing about the incident has traumatized me! gimme gimme gimme!

Stupid whore.

Hi Everybody!!!


This is a very sick woman. Just look at these x-rays! You see that dark spot there? Whiplash. And this smudge here that looks like my fingerprint? No, that's trauma.



Mrs. Jones, the bar forbids me from promising you a huge cash settlement. But, just between me and you, I promise you a huge cash settlement.

Life does imitate art, I suppose.

Hope she enjoys her 5 minutes of fame. I would advise her not to quit her day job of "crack-ho", though.

How do they know she was even on the fairy? She obviously left. Maybe the injury came from somewhere else. Leaving the scene of an accident is not cool. It makes a difficult situation worse.

"But now when I... ...get to work, I feel sick. "

Yeah, me too.

Where's my $200,000,000.00?

I didn't know Lionel Hutz was a member of the New York bar.

It's gonna take that much money to get her ugly-assed face fixed.

I always wonder when people sue the city or the state, aren't they basically suing everyone in the city/state? Either way how in the christ do you arrive at 200mil?

After reading this article, I can't sleep. I can't sleep at all....

Where do I get my handout?

Dear God, please...just once....can we have this biatch and her thievin lawyer dragged onto the docks of Staten Island and publicly CANED in front of every network camera in this country.

Amen.

apeman, that's exactly what I thought. Twenty bucks says she was nowhere near the ferry on that day.

A few years back in Philly the local transportation authority staged a bus accident drill with actors playing victims to test emergency readiness. A woman filed a lawsuit claiming to have been a victim (she walked up to the scene and didn't know it was fake). The story ends well though, she got a few months in jail for insurance fraud.

It's been said before, but it bears repeating again: that is one UGLY woman...body and soul! (if she has one)

My guess is she would invest most of the cash in KOOL cigarets and the QVC channel.

and specialized manicure jobs.

What a farking asshat biatch.

Hmm....maybe since the accident happened 12 DAYS AGO she should give it some time before she files her frivolous lawsuit. Of course people may have some problems related to being involved the accident, but there should be some minimum time period for the normal cycle of human psychological recovery to take place before a lawsuit can be filed.

Some lawyers suck and ruin it for the rest of us.

I think she's got a pretty good shot at winning.

I've heard that her dad is the District Attorney.


weak

I love how her complaints are "severe and permanent personal injuries" (back pain) and "emotional distress," neither of which can be disproved.

What a total scumbag.

I just don't get it. shiat happens to somebody, and that person finds somebody to sue and demands a lot of money. "Look, something bad happened! Now i'm entitled to an outragous amount of money! Whaaaa!"

That woman who lost her legs, she should get compensation obviously, to the extent that it covers how much money she would've been able to gather during the remainder of her life time had she had both her legs.

This woman though (if you can call her that) should STFU.

If you go on a ferry (or any other form of transport), you accept the risk that an accident may happen. So enjoy the times it goes without a hitch, but STFU when an accident happens. If you don't want the risk, don't get on the ferry.

ChewbaccaJones

Great ref. That's one farked up movie though...

Gee, I am shocked, such behaivor from a New Yorker....

Anyways, She is asking for $200 million, but I bet she would be willing to accept an Eight Ball and a six pack of Miller light.
