Yeh I saw it and thought dont even go down this rabbit hole which seems to be @Stormtrooper1320 saying which now I say this WTF. I never said this before😳

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

Saw that at the other place. That’s some bullshit right there!

 

[MiHiHemi]

Blame it on lawyers.

 

[MikeD1]

Saw this yesterday, what a crock. Only winners in this are the lawyers ! Prime example of a totally idiotic law.

If I am going to prison for that, I am sending the driver 6 feet under.
Fucking horse shit.

Unfortunately "the dealership cannot be sued because of a legal standard preventing an employee from suing their boss for negligence, which, in this case, would be the hiring of someone who should not have been driving."

So the deceased's family sued the 19 year old w/ no license who didn't know how to drive a stick directly (no money there) and the insurance of the owner of the Jeep (plenty of money). The owner's insurance will eventually pay and the insurance company in turn will sue the dealership to recover their costs. The dead guy's family should definitely be compensated, but it sucks they are forced to go this route to do it. The Jeep owner will probably also lawyer up and sue the dealer for having to endure all this shit.

If I take my gun to the gunsmith and he has his apprentice work on it and it accidentally goes off and kills someone am I liable? I guess so in this retarded world we are living in.

"Thompson reached into the vehicle and pressed brake with his right foot, keeping his other foot on the floor," the plaintiff summary reads. "He pressed the start button. When the vehicle did not start, he took his foot off the brake and depressed the clutch pedal. He again hit the start button. This time the Jeep started. He removed his foot from the clutch, still standing outside the vehicle. The vehicle lurched forward." ​

Fucking EyeD10T

Simple fix😁. Every customer has to be given FULL Disclosure Document to sign alerting them the Dealer has no responsibility or Liability coverage while working on your vehicle. Damn the Porter could be parking your car and run over a customer and now you have a lawsuit. Uh huh what dumb ass is gonna sign this….yeh a few but this would change things.

Michigan residents need to file a lawsuit agains the Attorney General of the state for letting businesses deceive customers of shady business practices. Anyone living in Michigan needs to reach out you local Congressman and Senator and end this SHIT.

This is total BS and a money grab. The owner of the vehicle had nothing to do with the death. The kid shouldn’t have been moving the car if he didn’t know how to drive a stick. By the way, our AG us a dumb b!tch so this is par for the course.

 

[Hickster]

Live in Fl on a golf course. Truex Jr winds tonight. The kid should and is covered by the companies liability insurance policy. If you have been a contractor of sorts. The minimum coverage is 1 million $$ with riders on top.

As an RV dealer I never imagined if a customer dropped off a motorhome for service and one of my employees accidentally killed someone with it at our facility,
the customer was responsible. I can guarantee you no customer is aware of this risk.

You know that you've reached your zenith once others start reguritating your propaganda.

Liability laws vary from state to state...with some bizarre ramifications....for instance ...in NY...we are a vicarious liability state..say you hire a contractor to put a roof on your house..they break for lunch and one of the workers has one too many beers @ lunch...they come back and the impaired worker falls off your roof and breaks his back...guess where the liability is....YOU the home owner...welcome to NY state..

North east should be sold off to Russia or China, that's what y'all deserve anyway.

There is an explanation for why this happens, similar here in texas.
