GOOD GOD... We've got so many STUPID people in this state! Now the taxpayers get stuck with a $9 MILLION bill, because a DRUNK motorcyclist hits a pig on his motorcycle.
Even the wife gets a cool $.5 million... how nice of them!
Who are these IDIOTS!!??
I gotta get outta hear in a few years, this place is LOCO!!
Wasn’t there a “Wild Pig Xing” sign there?
I bet most of the jury aren’t even legal residents of this country. The 9th circuit will probably not overturn this; we have to hope the supreme court accepts this case and overturns it. By then though, the legal fees alone would be in the high 6 figures.
Typical of liberals though; they refuse to take responsibility for anything ever.
You didn’t know taxpayer money grows on trees in Kalifornia?.....
loss of consortium??
Hope there's a sign there now to stop the pork.
Biker collides with Kalifornistan envirowackos and their beloved wild pigs, who must be allowed to roam unimpeded. Kalifornistan taxpayers pay for the pork (as usual).
Gee, this article has a little something for everyone!
PETA is prolly not amused; maybe they’ll sue the biker!
Kalifornistan — from economic engine to third-world circus in under 5 decades.
I’d say this could happen on 99% of the rural roads....
I guy in the office wiped out on a skunk.
He didn’t sue the state. But we all pitched in and bought him about 20 cans of tomato juice to welcome him back to work.
The jury was going to find whatever they had to find to make sure this guy got paid for his injuries. Juries are like that. They think it is there job to make things better, any way they can. They can’t fix the guy, but they can make him rich. So they do.
The fact that somebody (the taxpayers) have to pay the bill never enters into their minds.
Lesson:
Don’t drive a Motorcycle with the chance of wild animals jumping out...unless you’re going to get 8.6 million. hey, these days that’s nothing...go for BILLIONS!
When I lived in Lakeland, FL, Lake Parker was considered unsafe to swim in (for multiple reasons). It was suggested that the city post “Unsafe - No Swimming” signs. The city attorney said that such a sign would admit liability and put the city at risk of lawsuits should someone ignore the sign and get attacked by a gator, drown or get sick from the crappy water. He said the city had less liability by NOT informing people the lake was unsafe. The city followed his advice.
My wife would probably settle for $100. (just kidding honey!)

The money should come right out of the CA Department of Justice’s budget. How did this case ever see the time of day?
Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.
The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes and says:
"Nice pigs, sir."
The President replies "These are not pigs...these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi."
The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, Salutes and says,
"Excellent trade, sir."
how much do you have to drink to get a .10 alcohol reading?
Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a T-shirt, and leather gloves, puttering at maybe 25 mph down a quiet residential street, and in the fight of his life with a squirrel.
Accident used to be “acts of God”. Now, someone is responsible and must pay...........................
