If the cop wins this will set a dangerous and rediculous precedent: civilians who call 911 will thereon be responsible for securing an area during a crisis situation, rather than call professionals who are qualified and responsible for responding to dangerous areas. Utterly rediculous.
Wow...and this is the america we live in now a days. People make me sick, I mean id sue the shit out of a rich person if i could, but suing a grandpa after his grandson nearly drowned and is permanently handicapped is just sick. That police officer deserves whatever bad karma she has coming her way...
Update:
Officer Drops Lawsuit Against Childâ??s Family - Central Florida News 13
The Casselberry police officer who was suing the family of a young boy who nearly drowned in a backyard pool has now dropped the legal action.
The case gained nationwide attention after Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn sued because she slipped on a puddle of water at the house while responding.
She claimed the family was negligent.
However, the lawsuit was dropped on Thursday.
Some legal experts said it never would have stood up in court.
"The answer is really simple,? said attorney Dan Newlin. ??The family is dealing with a horrific situation where a child who has brain injury as a result of an accident. To bring more stress on family is something we don't do. We help families."
Eichhorn was also placed on leave by the Casselberry Police Department.
The city's chief was against the lawsuit all along.
Public pressure can have a positive effect.lol
There have been hundreds of cases just like this, suing people seems to be a national pastime in the states and it's getting just as bad this side of the pond too.
If someone brings a frivolous lawsuit they should be prosecuted IMO.
Me too.Quote:

Too freeking bad for her. She still has a life. That 2 yo doesn't.:(
well she could have been suing the family, as long as the insurance would pay for it, there shouldn't be a problem right? As long as the money isn't coming out of their pocket and they don't have to pay higher premiums, why not? fuck the system and the cops she rode on ;)

if the judge lets this go thats ridiculous..around the downriver here i know a few police officers and people who are "higher Up". i just read this and it reminded me of a judge from around who here who puts about every kid on probation for just about anything and puts them into work groups that they have to pay for and the whole catch is that he owns the work group they are sent into.
