Yes, it's that time again to track news articles where Califonia women/men sue hospitals, grocery stores, you name it due to some direct or indirect injustice she/he feels was committed against her/him and perhaps others! some are funny. Some...well, not so funny.
Animal magnetism? Or simply a scent? California woman sues over 'pheromone' body spray
Yet Winslow says that the products cannot influence humans because "humans do not have a functional VNO, and thus humans are incapable of detecting the products' pheromones..."
I guess it didn't work for her. I wonder what other odor her male date smelled....
Costco shopper sues for $14 million after display cabinet allegedly falls, causing brain injury
A woman in California is suing Costco for more than $14 million after a heavy liquor cabinet display allegedly fell on her, causing severe injuries.
The shopper, Sadie Novotny, filed the lawsuit against Costco Wholesale Corporation following the March 22 incident at the company's Santa Rosa store in northern California.
According to court documents, Novotny was walking down an aisle when she alleges a large, heavy cabinet used to display liquor suddenly toppled onto her.
In the article, it's pretty clear she was sober at the time (if the article is correct, Costco didn't fulfill their safety obligations). But I'm sure if it happened to me while drunk, I would claim it didn't just fall on me, but it LEAPED at me! And I'm sure no one would believe me.
According to the complaint, Shapiro was a fare-paying passenger on the Carnival Celebration when she walked onto an exterior deck near the pool and encountered an unreasonably wet and slippery surface.
She's asking for a "whopping" $75,000 which is probably the most reasonable amount of money I've ever seen online of a California woman demanding.
'My whole brain, mama': Woman gets $1M settlement after K-9 cop dog ripped off her scalp
Bates and two others were suspected of shoplifting approximately $10,000 in merchandise from a local Ulta Beauty store in February 2020. When the group allegedly fled the scene in a getaway vehicle, they collided with a Brentwood Police car and then fled again on foot.
If they had just obeyed the cops when they were first confronted...:they'd be $1M poorer....
Man awarded $50 million after Starbucks hot tea causes permanent disfigurement
A California delivery driver was awarded $50 million in damages after a jury agreed a Starbucks location was negligent in its handling of a scalding hot tea.
Michael Garcia sued the cafe chain after a tea spilled in his lap at a drive-thru and caused permanent disfigurement to his penis. His attorney Nick Rowley said in a press release that Garcia’s “life has been forever changed” by the accident.
I wonder if he had before/after photos confirming his disfigurement.
Man sues 50 women for $2.6 million after they called him a bad date in viral Facebook group
A California man is suing more than 50 women for $2.6 million after they shared negative stories about him on a “Are We Dating The Same Guy” Facebook page, claiming their reviews were false and defamatory.
The women say Stewart Lucas Murrey is using the legal action to intimidate them, and they’re asking the courts to slap him down.
On Monday, a judge in Los Angeles civil court ruled that one of the women — Vanessa Valdez — did nothing wrong by sharing her opinion of Murrey with the popular online group.
I think we call this a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, to all women regardless of the outcome of this lawsuit....raise your hand if you would EVER date this guy now.
California man sued police after he was beaten and tased while suffering a seizure
Jack Bruce was driving to his Hercules, California home last April when he experienced his first seizure. The seizure was so unexpected and intense, it caused Bruce to crash his car. A good Samaritan called in the crash, reporting that Bruce seized while driving.
“I just remember going to visit my grandmother, and when I left that house, my memory cut off,” Bruce told NBC Bay Area.
When police arrived, despite being warned that he’d suffered a seizure, three officers began to pressure Bruce to get out of the car. One officer’s body camera showed him from the backseat, pushing a taser against Bruce’s slumped back.
“You’re going to get tased, dude, get out of the car!” yelled the officer. Within seconds, he deployed the taser, sending Bruce to the ground. Another officer tased him and began pulling his hair, arms, and legs to get him to comply.
As is typical with many horrendous police encounters - even when caught on camera - the cases are dismissed or the officers successfully claim immunity. And so it was in this case, too. The police reaction is absolutely egregious!
Compton man sues In-N-Out for alleged discrimination over hairstyle
A California man is suing In-N-Out Burger for more than $3 million over alleged workplace discrimination and wrongful termination based on his race and hairstyle.
On June 11, Elijah Obeng filed a civil complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles citing discrimination based on race (hairstyle or hair texture), race discrimination in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, harassment based on race, wrongful termination, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Obeng is seeking $1 million in damages, $2 million in non-economic damages for emotional distress and $200,000 in back pay, according to the lawsuit.
Just cut the damn hair! Ultimately, in the lawsuit he pulls out the "cultural identity" card to try to exempt himself from the company standards.
