Families of 9 of the people that have ar-15-imageleft this earth are seeking damages from the makers of the AR-15 assault weapon used in the attack under the claim that they should never have been sold because it had no reasonable civilian purpose.

    Gun Maker To Request Dismissal

    lawsuit-imageThe law suit was filed in December 2014 seeking financial damages. Plaintiff Bill Sherlach. whose wife was a victim to the massacre states “that gun was conceived out of the exigencies of modern conflict as trench warfare gave way to close-range, highly mobile combat.”

    Despite their claim, privately owned Maine-based Bushmaster is intended to shed light on the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act which blocks liability lawsuits against gun makers when their products were used criminally in hopes to ask Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis to dismiss this case against them.

  • 3 Female Chauffeurs Get Awarded $130K Each!

    In this day and age females can do just as much as men can do and some fail to realize that it is illegal to discriminate against one for the gender. Well obviously some companies did not get thatfemale_driver memo and it cost them a pretty penny!

    Three chauffeurs, Gretchen Cooper, Barbara Herold and Lisa Boutelle filed suit in Minneapolis in 2012 for gender discrimination after being “let go” from their chauffeur jobs because a Saudi prince (Prince Abdul-Rahman bin Abdul-Aziz) wanted only male drivers. These women were among the 40 hired drivers to transport the prince and his entourage around. The Saudi prince was here being treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was said that his entourage told the company that the prince only wanted male drivers. In his country, women are band from driving.

    gravel_image2 of the 3 companies involved have settled with the woman. The women received $100,000 each for mental anguish and suffering under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Judge Erickson doubled the $15,000 that each woman sought for wage loss, to $30,000, but did not grant punitive damages, saying that while the defendants may have acted unlawfully, the women bringing the lawsuit had not shown they acted with “deliberate disregard or malice.”

    Well we hope that the lesson has been learned for all those visiting this great Country of America that we are all equal.
