Cop Sues For Slip Up

October 11th 2007 17:54
I'm all for suing an inconsiderate employer, if you slip and fall, break your knee or any part of your body for that matter because your employer couldn't provide you with a safe work place then you deserve compensation.

But when you're with the police force you kind of expect their to be hazzards in your 'workplace', it's part of the job after all.

Which is why this cop suing the family of a boy who is fundamentally disabled for breaking her knee is, for the lack of a better word, pathetic.

Eichhorn last week sued Richard Cosmillo; his wife, Maggie Cosmillo; and the boy's mother, Angela Cosmillo, accusing them of negligence. They were careless, according to the suit, and allowed the home they shared to become unsafe.


As a consequence, Eichhorn broke her knee, something that kept her off the job for two months, according to police Chief John Pavlis.

Some thoughts for the poor boy who almost drowned, you know, how about cutting them a little break? Maybe the mother didn't realise she had to mop up after her son had just nearly died.

First of all, let me admit that, as a retired attorney (although never heavily involved in personal injury litigation), I a biased in favor of the courts being open for redress of injuries. On the other hand, I agree with you that this is an absurd situation.

One word of caution, before everyone gets worked up: anybody can sue anybody on whatever theory, grounds or excuse that a fertile mind can conceive. Virtually all of the silly stuff gets thrown out. On the other hand, some of the "groundless" suits have merit when all of the facts are known. This doesn't sound like one of the latter, however.
