Remington 73million

[kruppa24]

Just seen where Remington settled to pay the Sandy Hook families 73million.

Hmm, the article I read said the amount was not disclosed, although it did say that Remington offered 33 mil to begin with. Link ?

Yup hammer, knife, pipe, wood, brick ,vehicle, etc... manufacturers better be on the look out!

Wait why is Remington paying them? Does that just happen to be the maker of the firearm the nut used to kill them?

Bad precedent set with that settlement.

SCOTUS refused to hear the case. One of their worst decisions.

Sad deal. I agree with others its going to get to where people are scared to fart in public in this country for fear of getting sued.

Thanks, I guess somebody disclosed it.

I’m sorry for the loss of life, but I personally think anyone who sues a third party for selling a legal product is scum. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil, proof is out there every day.

I read this earlier....

The suit centered around Remington's marketing by paying to have that particular rifle featured in a shoot-em-up video game played by young male adolescents. Kind of a dumb marketing strategy to begin with, but that was really all the suit had on Remington.

This is not good at all. When can we start suing big pharma?

I agree. But if I were those families lawyer and just got this settlement. I would FOR SURE sue the company who designed and sold that game and the stores that sold it. Networks who allowed a commercial to run for that game. Stores that promoted and sold the model of riffle that was used.
Might as well go all the way with it.

Why did they pay anything?

[Death from Above]

So…If I am fat can I sue the grocery store?

It is their fault for advertising good

Yep our insurance company reminded us that they will not cover us under individual insurance if a have any signage ( like our brand or telephone # ) afraid of commercial lawsuits
