This pisses me off:
Dog gets away from owner and runs into the street
Driver swerves to avoid dog and hits a tree
Dog is killed anyway as driver still hits dog
Driver sues dog owner for $500,000
Ten years later, judges order dog owner to pay $265,000
I love animals and all, but I remember when I was going through driving school, I was tought that the worst thing you can do when an animal gets in your way - is swerving to avoid it.
This guy should counter sue for killing his dog.
What if it was a child who ran out and was killed.....do you sue the parents?
