Yeah she didn't want to get out. And then when we got her out as the van was ablaze tried to go back for her pocketbook! Anyway one of us let her us our cell to call home, (guess if she wanted to sue us she could have tried to track us that way, but it was a prepaid, that we didnt keep long, never can keep those things long) Anyway first thing the husband asked was "Hows the van?" to which she responds "ON Fire!!! But YES I'm Ok I'm just fine!"

WOW!!!! That is too wild!

Well from how her husband is more worried about the van than her -no duh she didn't want to get out.

After this ruling, I will no longer even call 911. If the EMTs make a mistake, you might get sued.

I'm thinking about buying umbrella liability coverage. Malpractice insurance for walking around with. I think of it as mugger money. Good grief.
