Correct. It is indeed unfortunate that these kinds of lawsuits are made. However, let’s not let our heads explode over a poorly written complaint filled with silly, sophomoric comments and generally devoid of real facts. “He chooses to fly over me?” “He likes lead?” Wow.
What is truly a shame is not where this suit is going (probably nowhere), but what the defendant now has to do to defend against this travesty. He will have to answer the complaint by hiring an attorney. A good attorney should be able to have this thrown out on it’s merit (or lack of) or just answer with demands for more information, etc. Sort of like what the plaintiff demanded with his silly request for irrelevant documents while ignoring more salient information. I’m not an attorney, but isn’t there a burden on the plaintiff to prove how he was harmed other than “it makes me nervous?”
Boy, do we need tort reform.
