Funny outrageouse people suing companies for a dumb reason?

The “Stella Awards” are named after the 81-year-old woman, Stella Liebeck, who spilled hot coffee on herself and success-fully sued McDonald’s in New Mexico for 2.9 million dollars. Ever since, the name “Stella Award” has been applied to any wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits - including bogus cases! Here are this year’s winners…

7th Place - Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle when she tripped over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering that the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson’s son.
6th Place - Nineteen-year- old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.
5th Place - Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, so Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the home owners’ insurance company, claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000. In my opinion, this is SO outrageous that it should have been 2nd Place.
4th Place - Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next-door neighbor’s beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owners’ fenced yard. The award was less than originally sought, because the jury felt that the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
3rd Place - A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tail bone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2nd Place - Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies’ room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.
1st Place (drum roll, please) - This year’s runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand-new, 32-foot-long Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home from an OU football game - having driven onto the freeway - she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver’s seat to go into the back to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually do that. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed its manuals on the basis of this law suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around.

How does it feel to post something that was debunked six years ago? If I did it, and it was pointed out in front of everyone, I'd feel pretty stupid.

Limestoner62, and anyone else who missed it, and whoever gave me the thumbs down if it was someone else, nobody paid out a dime in any of these cases, as none of these cases actually happened. They're all made up. Not true. Lies. Phonies. False. Mythical. I'm not sure how else to say it. They didn't happen!!!

Who do I contact when I need to resolve an out of state ticket?

I received a no insurance ticket in Delaware back in 2000 which I didn't even realize I had.I apparently had a capias entered which I didn't find out about until I tried to get a driver's license back in my home state of Washington.I want to pay the fine and get it taken care of,but on my income to fly back there and stay to take care of it in person would tap any monies I had to pay the ticket with.I have heard that there are state officials you can write to and ask to be excused from court as well as ask to make payment to.Does anyone have any idea who this would be?

If you failed to appear, (which it seems from your statement), you may need to hire an attorney to enter an appearance on your behalf, have the warrant cancelled, and then resolve the issue there. In many states, if you were driving without PROOF of insurance, but actually had insurance at the time, the procedure and penalties are much less and/or the ticket can be dismissed. If you truly did not have insurance at the time, then you will need the advice of counsel in Delaware to detemine what the consequences may be.

I think your best and most prudent option would be to hire an attorney in that particular city of Deleware to enter his/her appearance and deal with the matter for you. For a referral, contact the Delaware State Bar association.
