If An ATV Rolls Over Your Son, Won’t You Win?
Posted by Sam on June 22, 2009
So how far can people go when pursuing others in personal injury cases? I mean, we’ve all heard the stories about how you can sue King Sooper’s after you slip on the ice on their front walk. Or how a burglar can sue you if he crosses your lawn and breaks an ankle on a sprinkler. And we’ve all heard about the infamous McDonald’s coffee case. But really, at what point do you have a good right to sue?
I’m thinking of getting a Pittsburgh personal injury attorney because the people across the street parked an ATV out front on which the gear or brake was not set, and it rolled over my child’s hand when he was leaning on it and under it to retrieve a ball. Sure, my kid was touching his property. But his property was on a public road and was not supervised as it was left in an unsecured position. I’m thinking I have a pretty good case, but some people tell me that maybe I don’t. I don’t want to waste money going to court if I don’t have a clear case; hard to tell from lawyers, necessarily, when you have that you know. But Jees-a vehicle parked on a slope like that could kill someone! And if that had happened, I’d be looking for a Pittsburgh wrongful death attorney instead of a personal injury one!
