I mean come on, people need to get a grip!  These kids are so lame!  They are blaming everyone else but them.

DENVER -- Two Berthoud High School students who lost their legs in a traffic accident have filed suit against Isuzu, claiming the Trooper they were in helped contribute to the crash.The same argument was made by lawyers for Michelle Berra earlier. Berra, 18, admitted rear-ending the Trooper and said she couldn't see the rear tail lights of the vehicle because the lights were blocked by the open rear door of the SUV and by Tyler Carron and Nicco Landeros, who were at the rear of the vehicle, changing a flat tire.Carron and Landeros were pinned between the two vehicles on Jan. 17, and lost their legs as a result of the crash.

a little confusing, this is what i got out of it...

some kid(s) were driving an izuzuzuzuz trooper when they got a flat tire. they pulled over to change the tire. in doing so they opened the back of the izuzuzuzuz trooper which in turn blocked the tail lights.
then some person comes driving by and hits the izuzuzuz trooper because the door of the izuzuzuzu trooper was blocking the tail lights? kid(s) lose their legs.

There was a lot left out in this story. 

The kids in the trooper were drunk and pulled over but were half way in the road.  The girl never saw them due to another truck in the way.  It's the kids fault.  All they had to do was pull into a driveway where it was safe, the trooper was only a few feet shy of a driveway.  The kids never got a DUI cause one of the kids aunt was a cop on the scene and never checked for it

having the back door wide open like that would have been an obstruction for passing cars.  same deal with people flinging their doors wide open when you drive down the road.  furthermore, the car was off which mean the lights would have been off unless they were smart enough to put on the hazards.    she just doesn't want to take the fall for the fake legs so she is hitching on to their lawsuit to save her own ass. 

and didn't she have her lights on, its a pretty big truck unless there was fog as thick as smoke she should have been able to see it.  dumb girl  probably had her head down changing from justin timberlake to hide and seek by imogen heap right when it happend....mmmm watcha say indeed.

Sue Justin Timberlake and Imogen Heap for making distracting music that was the main cause of the accident. The girl was not at fault at all.

so if thats the right version then why did she plead guilty to careless driving? she was probably coaxed by the cop aunt into pleading guilty.

anyways, if you say that they were drunk then i couldn't really care less if their legs got chopped off.

Wrong. First rule of lawsuits, especially where personal injury is concerned:

1. SUE EVERYONE.

They could have a legitimate case if it is true that the tail gate blocked the rear lights. And whoever said the kids should have got a DUI has unproven and irresponsible information. To add to that the kids who were injured were not driving the car with the flat tire so a DUI would never have been an issue. It also took place in a snow storm so visibility of the lines on the road was poor causing the car to be parked incorrectly and unsafe.

They are doing nothing wrong and this type of suing would not be such an issue if our country had a decent health care program where a serious injury would not bankrupt a family.

I hope they win if they are right and I hope Isuzu fixes the problem.
