DieHardBrownsFan Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Driver who killed teen is suing dead boy’s family for $1 million Published April 27, 2014FoxNews.com Facebook496 Twitter302 Gplus0 The family of a teenage bicyclist who died after being hit from behind by an SUV is now being sued for more than $1 million by the woman who was behind the wheel. Sharlene Simon claims in court papers the accident caused her “great pain and suffering” and accuses her victim Brandon Majewski 17, and his two friends of negligence, calling them “incompetent bicyclists,” the Toronto Sun reported Friday. ADVERTISEMENT The lawsuit drew an angry response from Brandon's family. “I feel like someone kicked me in the stomach -- I’m over the edge,” his father, Derek Majewski, told the Sun. “Sometimes, it makes my blood boil.” “Sometimes, it makes my blood boil.”- Derek Majewski The dad's attorney Brian Cameron told the Sun that in all his years as a lawyer, he had never seen anyone ever sue a child that they killed. “It’s beyond the pale,” he said. He is representing the elder Majewski in a seperate lawsuit that seeks $900,000 in damages from Simon. The accident happened early in the morning of Oct. 28, 2012, on a dark, rural road in Innisfil, about 55 miles north of Toronto. Brandon’s two friends were both 16. One was seriously injured; the other escaped injury. They are also defendants in Simon’s lawsuit, as is the county where the accident occurred. Simon, a 42-year-old mother of three, said she was going about 55 mph in her KIA Sorrento when she hit the boys -- about 5 mph more than the speed limit, the Ottawa Citizen said. No criminal charges were ever filed against her. “It’s a tragedy what happened to the boys, but it’s also a tragedy that’s happened to (Simon),” her lawyer Michael Ellis told the Toronto Star. “I understand their grief and I understand what they must be going through is awful, but my client is also living with this nightmare every day.” Click for the story from the Toronto Sun.

calfoxwc Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Everything seems to be going upside-down, inside-out, and bass-ackwards with this "I don't care, I'm entitled to mo' money" crap. Frivolous lawsuits have been getting more and more outrageous every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Shit on the summer. I despise hot humid weather. I might spend part of July or August by the Hudson Bay. It's a rare occasion that the cold really bums me out and mostly that's only when the roads get shitty. Give me 55-65 and sunshine. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I remember shivering in the 5:30 am morning in basic in Texas. Then marching forever carrying our coats and gloves, getting sweatied up. And in Miami, going on a cruise? Getting off the bus to the un-air conditioned port building? Like an oven. Ohio is pretty cool, I love the change of seasons. Our friends in N.C. love the more moderate temps in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Lately I have hated both summer and winter. If I could live in perpetual Autumn I'd be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I went on vacation to Cancun one winter. We left Cleveland it was 15 degrees. When we landed in Cancun it was 85. That is heaven for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Fan Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 The fuck you money would land me right here in the Commonwealth (not NOVA, as it is another world entirely). I'd travel, sure, but home base would be, well, home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
