Slopey, we need more deep pocket defendants. I assume we can sue the MTA in addition to the City? Shirley, there was a nearby bus that made Biff trepidatious of stepping off the sidewalk sooner than he would have done otherwise, and that will also get him damages for intentional (or at least negligent) infliction of emotional distress.
May I suggest adding the EPA and FEMA to these lawsuits for not taking environmental action to stop the sleet from falling? And while we’re at it, what about the salt manufacturers who didn’t do enough to make sure their product was used in a correct and timely manner?
cobble, what is it that you do? what are these appointments about?
*rob*
Does anyone else think the whole Groundhog day thing is a bit weird?
I think it’s strange that it’s an actual holiday and that we really “believe” that this little rodent can predict when spring will come….
the breakfast sandwich with extra bacon and cheese was delish.
Yes, winter outerwear that does not sufficiently aid in balance while the wearer is standing on ice is a defective product subject to strict liability under NY law. I smell class action, with SSCJ&L as class counsel.
Oh, and does death star own its building? We need the building owner and any management company, plus the contractor responsible for sidewalk cleaning and maintenance.
“How was Cdog in this weather?”
bxgrl, unfortunately she’s not doing so well these days, bad weather or not. Tomorrow is her 16th birthday, and she’s 4-6 years past her life expectancy, so it’s not surprising, but it is still very sad and very upsetting to watch.
“Cobble, any way you can reach out to them to confirm they’re still meeting you?”
Yes, I can call them both, and prolly will in the next hour.
“CGar, yes, add the shoe mfr and sidewalk contractor. Was anyone performing construction within 100 yards? Any scaffolding within sight? Also, I understand Al Gore accepts service of process for Mother Nature.”
Slopey, and the window washers, whose fluids spilled and added to the mess on the defective sidewalk.
Right! I forgot that’s how we served Mother Nature last time. And Al tried to run away and evade service, but he’d put on all that weight and could barely move.
