Insurance Company Suing Sigma Chi (U of Georgia alleged incident)

[minDyG]

I guess I just have such a different outlook on things like this. I can't remember EVER getting hurt and thinking to myself "I should sue" anyone. I fell off my swingset when I was six, and got a concussion. My parents didn't sue Fischer-Price. I fell out of the tree house at a friend's house when I was seven and sprained my wrist, and my parents didn't sue her parents. And I have fallen down when I've been overly intoxicated, banging up my knees, and it has never occurred to me to sue the bar that "over served" me. ESPECIALLY not when I knew in good conscience that I had no business being in a bar when I was under the age of 21.

I'm not trying to say that it's the girl's fault necessarily that this happened, but if you make the choice to go to a fraternity party, and then you make the choice to get drunk (I'm sure nobody was forcing drinks down her throat), and then you get hurt, maybe you should chalk it up to a life lesson in responsibility. I don't know, that's just my take on the situation. I'm sure others have probably thought the same thing, and maybe it doesn't have any bearing on the suit whatsoever, but like I said, those are just my thoughts.
