Judge approves Ford Explorer rollover settlement

this whole topic just disgusts me. if you drive any SUV down an interstate in poorly inflated tires on a 100 degree day with 7 people in a vehicle designed for 5, and none of them are wearing seat belts, you deserve to die, and ford should be payed money by the government for eliminating such retards. I have heard of a few legitimate cases where none of the above were applicable, but this whole thing just wreaks of the fact that people dont know how to take care of their cars, take care of themselves, and buckle up.

that one case there where volvo was found guilty of man slaughter is another example. so now any time a volvo is related to a fatality, will volvo be found guilty? cause thats what happened with this whole firestone deal. a couple legitimate cases and then every tom, penis, and pubic hair came out of friggen wood work and every moron judge in the world just went along with it.

people settling for 8 and 9 figure lawsuits because they just happened to be in an explorer when they were paralized and their coked out husband who wasnt wearing his seat belt died with their new born baby in his arms when the stupid thing rolled over on the interstate because you spilled your damned Double Gulp.

Excuse me while I go throw up.

Americans just love to sue dont they.

its the modern american dream. why work for a living and retire rich and live easy when you could do something stupid and get a nice fat cheque today? "all I had to do was spill coffee on my face and get permanently scarred". or "all i had to do was walk on that patch of ice, slip, fall, and paralyze myself. I always hated scrubbing myself in the shower anyways".

and no its not just americans, lets not generalize. we've got our fair share of it in canada. to a lesser extent it seems. some woman sued because she got burned from the coffee at a tim hortons. but aparently the coffee was something like 140 degrees or something rediculous.

Americans love to sue because it's free.
Lwayers here work on commission, that is they take a percentage, and don't charge if they don't win, so why not sue? You have nothing to lose? It's disgusting.
If you have money, and you're not divested into LLC's and protected by multiple insurance policies and umbrella coverages, you are a fool who will be sucked dry by the first person you have any sort of accident with...

HMMM does this apply in VA because I own a 98 sport and may be in the market for a new ford.

It's not free. There is plenty of wasted time and effort for the courts in these ridiculus lawsuits. You and I are paying for it, or at least contributing to the system that everyone hopes will pay for their stupidity.

Have you guys in the states got the Ford Territory ? Sort of the size of the Toyota Highlander/Kluger...would be the kind of SUV that you need to get rid of the explorer tag as it has been tarnished.. time to start again !
