OT: Frivolous Lawsuits
whodey
Fat bastard that can afford to fuck hot strippers
I used to think that lawsuits by dancers against strip clubs claiming they are employees were frivolous. This suit brings frivolous to a whole new level.
A woman sued her 12-year-old nephew in Connecticut for $127,000 for injuries she says she suffered from his exuberant greeting at his birthday party four years ago.
The Connecticut Post reports that New York City resident Jennifer Connell said the Westport boy acted unreasonably when he leaped into her arms at his eighth-birthday party.

The lawsuit states: "The injuries, losses and harms to the plaintiff were caused by the negligence and carelessness of the minor defendant in that a reasonable eight year old under those circumstances would know or should have known that a forceful greeting such as the one delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff could cause the harms and losses suffered by the plaintiff."

I read about the aunr's lawsuit. There is only one possible way that it makes sense- if the family has homeowners insurance that she expects to cover her alleged damages. Otherwise suing the kid is insane. And it's a shitty thing to do regardless, and likely frivolous on the merits.
And, wow, that's definitely an aunt who deserves to be scratched off the family's Christmas card list.
I agree with JS69. Club owners cannot violate labor laws just because they can make more money that way. The rules defining independent contractors should be clear even to the mentally and morally challenged minds of strip club management. And the fact that strippers keep winning their lawsuits proves that the suits are not frivolous.
