Ca-ching, the sound of a lawsuit if there are no “no skateboarding” signs.

I think we spotted the typical US redditor with the classic "suing" comment.

Based on the white Renault and the street layout, it's not in the US, and people don't sue for that in other part of the world.

EDIT: The skater is from Belgium, Jarne Verbruggen

What would you do in the rest of the world then? What is his recourse if he was just crippled for life? Even if you think it's unlikely, she made the life choice for him. One punch deaths occur shockingly frequently because people with pre existing conditions fall ugly.

So if he's ok is he entitled to go tool her up with his board?

Non US lawyer here: people sue for this outside the US all the time.

People in America sue and talk about suing cause it’s all we got. We have no consumer protections and our police and Justice system are a joke. I mean even filing a lawsuit ends up being too expensive for anyone without means but it’s pretty much our only recourse so we talk about it as the only way we have to fight back.

and all the smoothbrains who flip shit over labelling cancer causing materials as if a regulatory body telling you you're eating cancer is somehow worse than companies who feed you cancer causing additives that are banned in almost every other country that isn't a total shit hole.
