Bizarre Lawsuits


A student attending a college in Idaho fell from his window
while mooning a friend. The student then sued the college,
claiming that it had not provided adequate information about
the dangers of upper-story windows.

A California woman sued a grocery store after she dropped a
six-pack of beer on her feet. The woman was not injured, but
she said that it hurt. She won the lawsuit.

A construction worker in Tulsa intentionally cut his hand
off with a circular saw. When he was taken to the emergency
room, he told doctors not to reattach the hand, saying that
it was possessed. The man is now suing the doctors for not
reattaching his hand, claiming that the doctors should have
known he was psychotic.

A Blue Cross-Blue Shield worker sued IBM, claiming that
their keyboard's "faulty design" had caused pain in her hand
that kept her from working.

A man riding his bike from work at night with no lights,
only reflectors, was hit by a Jeep after the driver ran a
stop sign. The bicyclist sued the bike manufacturer because
he was not warned that reflectors might not be enough to
prevent an accident. The man was awarded $6 million.

Robert Lee Brock, an inmate in Virginia, has filed a lawsuit
against himself, claiming that he violated his own civil
rights by getting arrested. He is suing for $5 million and
asking the state to pay, since he can't have an income in
prison.

A man filed a suit against his son's baseball team when he
was asked to stop smoking so close to his kid's dugout. The
father claimed that this caused his son great emotional
distress. The judge fined the man and his lawyer $2,250 for
filing a frivolous suit.

Chris Morris brought a suit against the state of Michigan
for $1 million. Morris claims that he caught a cold in the
rotunda (a large, round room) of the state capitol building.
He was there to observe an art exhibition.

Suing insert fast-food restaurant here because it made them "fat".
