We're getting sued

[Ivellios]

alpha I think another thing that helps boost americas litigation levels is there are no laws against it, a person in aus recently got declared a serial litigator when she threatend to sue heaps of companies for not hiring her due to her age, when her age wasn't even listed on her regime and she was not hired due to not meeting the requirements for the job.
End result was the companies that gave her settlements decided to sue her instead

Ivellios,
One question.
How do I get citizenship in this mystical land where one does not always have to fear lawsuits

Kinda reminds me of the time in primary school when a lad who didn't like me tried to get me in trouble by biting himself, the only problem with that? At the time I was missing my two front teeth, he wasn't

Alas... I didn't have that fortune. I got sent home and then sent to Behavioral Disorder classes. But then Karma stepped in and got the girl back. In high school she skipped, did drugs, got into tons of trouble with the law, and kicked out of her house. And where am I now? Working in Japan with a good salary, good benefits, and a great boyfriend. Gotta love Karma.

From what I've heard it's not that hard, then again I just got born here, so it was easy for me.

Come to NZ. Not only don't we sue - we can't. Our laws prevent an injured person seeking any kind of suit against whoever may have caused their injury (for accidents, anyway, not abuse, obviously).

I think you can sue for negligence, but not for costs and damages. I'm not sure what you can actually 'get' out of a negligence case. The government covers the cost of any medical treatment and time off work, so you really don't have much to sue for.

Yep. Two years ago, my wife was driving home from work. It was late evening and she was coming home on the highway. A tractor(!) pulled out in front of her, and he didn't have lights on. She hit him at 60 miles per hour, totalling her car.

same thing happened to a former co-worker. she was driving back from vacation doing about 60-65 and a semi pulled out on the road at 2am or so... with his lights off. and yeah, her car was totaled too.

the semi-driver and his insurance tried harassing her and blaming her for it. tho if i remember correctly the police report was in the co-worker's favor so she ended up "winning" in the long run. tho then she had to fight about getting her car replaced, etc.


but for the OP... so she fell on her butt... sure there's nothing wrong with getting checked out by a doctor if that kind of fall might hurt you. but lying on the official report isn't going to help your case out at all... i can jsut imagine what a judge would say... probably the same thing your boss said.

Which reminds me...

"Gangleader: Do you have any idea what we are gonna do to you? If we find any kind of scratch?
Shep Ramsey: Lemme guess. Your gonna pound my face.
Gangleader: What are you nuts? This is the '90s. We're gonna sue you."

Oh damn, That's from Suburban Commando.

I only watched it for Christopher Lloyd's performance. Everything else was, predictably as anything the hulkster did, cheesier than velveeta.
