I broke my hip bone a month ago and have to be robocop for the rest of my life... Can't imagine the pain this person felt.

New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)

And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.

tell me you’re american without telling me you’re american
Is it the story about trucks, or spelling “knew” as “new”?
Or the story about a lawsuit that only makes sense when you reframe it as a florida man headline in your mind
exactly this “florida man hit himself in the head with a hammer, sued the hammer company and won a bazillion dollars” stuff
Frivolous lawsuits are mostly a fake thing McDonald’s convinced the public of so they wouldn’t have to pay medical bill for someone after serving coffee that was way too hot. The reason for most big payouts for injuries is because the medical system is broken.
