I'm so glad this poor personal injury lawyer is able to see the silver lining and realize that he can now relate to his clients. If he REALLY wanted to relate to them, however, he should go ahead and file a lawsuit against the American Association for Justice (that's the trial lawyers' spiffy new name), since it was their fault he was running the race in the first place.
For some reason, I suspect he won't. What's that saying about sharks and lawyers...?

We need the “not this shiite again” picture. I worked for 20 years as a physical therapist and I can’t believe this guy has the cojones to whine about his broken fibula?? Apparently now that he’s seen the “other side” he thinks he needs to sue for even more money for his clients?

On Sunday, July 13, 2008, we decided to run a sponsored 5k (3.1 miles) in Philadelphia. About half of the way through, I was talking to the attorney next to me and not paying attention. At that point, there was a lower area of the sidewalk where a tree was planted, and my left foot folded under, breaking my fibula. Wow. It sounds like, like, like some amazing tort lawyer's dream come true. Breaking your leg while running a sponsored race in Philadelphia. It just does get any better.

Never broke a leg, but I can attest that nothing improves your posture quite like a broken collar bone.

His problem is that as a legal slut (trial lawyer) he is paid to prostitute the truth, to assume that - unlike his case - someone, anyone with money is financially responsible (today’s euphemism for “negligent”) for the suffering of his client; whether or not, in fact, in truth, his client’s case is like his - failure to take self-responsible action.
We need all such cases to be required to pass a judicial “smell test” (pre-trial hearing with a judge) where the source of the supposed negligence must be proven to have any true, willful negligence possible on a purely scientific basis, with no financial considerations involved.
Only then should such cases even be given an opportunity for a trial. Then, additionally, as in Great Britain, the plaintiff who brings a losing suit should have to pay the legal fees of those they sued.
