[bigblue77]

What the !!!!!!!!
I knew this would eventually be attempted. I hope she dosen't get anything. But you know she probably will. Thats just the way things work anymore IMO.

I'll bet The Nolan Law Group, the Chicago firm that filed the suit, went trolling to get someone to file suit, and they found someone in the form of an elderly lady who lost her husband in the attack. These guys have to be the ultimate in ambulance chasers!!!
The quickest way that we could clean up half the problems in this country is to ban trail lawyers, who happen to be the largest lobbying organization in Washington DC.

i heard a law was passed that makes it so people cannot sue united airlines, ill see if i can find out anything about it

I am in agreement that this lawsuit is frivioulous. I was shocked to read this and figured it was only a matter of time also. I think the judge should strike all motions for wrongful death suits. I don't think this lady is going to get very far with this unless they are counting on an out of court settlement to get her to shutup. Which is jsut might be the whole point of the lawsuit. I hope the airlines don't give in. They didn't cause this, bin ladens blokes did.

Eh hem what happened to United we Stand???? Obvisouly this woman has forgoten. er the trial lawyers did.

ARggg the nerve of some people.

The victims compensation act will pay survivors and victims (amounts will be announced today) an amount calculated based on family and other circumstances. However, people who want to sue can opt out, although they forfeit the money guaranteed by the government, it will delay by 10+ years any compensation they hope to get at all, and the lawyers will end up with most of any settlement (few if any will go to court).

BTW, the Trial Lawyers Assc. was involved in drafting the legislation so many lawyers are recommending that people take the government compensation. But as we all know, lawyers will be lawyers.

How did the lawyer break his nose? Chasing a parked ambulance.

Ummm...wasn't this declared an act of war?

You can't sue over that, can you?

Say that Al Queda shot a missile at the plane. Any diff?

Hold on here people, I’m not jumping on your bandwagon just yet. For starters, how do you know the guy did nothing? Were you there? I don’t think so. It is widely understood that airport security was poor at best prior to September 11th. If I recall correctly, the airlines were responsible for that security, they failed. This ladies husband died because of that, not because he refused to do anything on the plane before it hit the tower. The guy was toast because the hijackers made it onto the plane, not because he did or did not decide to play the hero.

The woman is in mourning for her dead husband and you guys are criticizing him in his grave for what he could or should have done when you weren’t even there. The hijackers could have started slitting throats one by one, we just don’t know. If the lady wants to sue, she has that right, I am not saying she is right, but she has the right.

I don’t like lawyers either, but you guys are vilifying a dead guy when there is no evidence to support your claim.

If this had been a case of a poor hijack attempt and the plane had crashed becuase the hijaker did something stupid and got paniced or something to that affect I could understand a lawsuit perhaps.

BUT this was a massively well-prepared terrorist act. No matter how tighht security was then or for that matter, no matter how tight secuirty is NOW .. if the terrorists are willing to take risks and try to hijak planes they are going to succeed. Its sad, but true. This woman is an idoit, she needs to think this through I really hope she gets nothing, except perhaps the bad press and shame she deserves.
