This is quite disgusting. She deserves absolutely no money. Obviously it was foreseen his body parts would hurt the woman. This should have just been thrown away.

That guy should have been more neat and orderly instead of deciding to go about dying on everyone.

Cadaver Synod, anyone?

This seems like a clear-cut case of "lawyers wasting everybody's time with bullshit so they can get more money".

This case should be dismissed with prejudice, and the court costs should come out of her pocket.

So I guess they're going to have to bring his body parts in and question him huh? Ask his reasoning, and then wonder if he can get by by pleading insanity. Hopefully a lawyer will be provided too, I hear he can be the quiet type.



Seriously,

Really? Come on now.

The woman wasn't doing anything dangerous or stupid at the time so I don't see why she should just get told that she can pay for her treatment herself. That being said, I don't know who's responsibility this is as suing a dead guy seems pretty low.

Had the dude lived his own negligence in running in front of a speeding train would have made him liable. So holding his estate liable seems like a logical extension, it just sounds silly but honestly, it works.

IF she really wants the treatment payed for she should sue the train company. For hitting the guy.

Appropriate since the woman's injuries were ... an arm and a leg.

I don't see the problem here. Sue his estate for something that was his fault. Do his surviving relatives deserve the money more?

Yeah... now that I read more about it, it's less silly with added gruesome and traumatic.

Not really, no. He fucked up. Just cause HE died isn't an excuse.

How is it his fault for being hit by a train? He didn't intentionally jump in front of it.

He ran onto live tracks without looking or paying attention, as trains are not known for their subtlety.

He ran in front of it. Whether he intentionally did it isn't important (well, it is I guess, but it's certainly not disqualifying for fault). If I cause an accident and die in it, isn't it still my fault?

Negligence.

EDIT: Seeing what The Murt wrote ... it certainly would be his fault if he had deliberately jumped in front of the train, but I think a lot of people would feel worse about suing the estate of a suicide.

Actually, criminal responsibility is personal and ceases with the death of the individual. Liability for damages, instead, carries on to the eventual heirs. So I'd say she has a point there.

I wouldn't. I'd feel worse suing the guy who just happened to be running late. But that's really here nor there. I doubt it's some sort of million dollar lawsuit or anything.

Also, I demand that everyone refer to me as "The Murt" from now on.

It was his fault for negligence and running in front of train, so I would say women was quite justified in suing.

But it is quite low...
