THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR LAND SURFING ACCIDENT IN PLEASANT HILL
As you probably know, a young man died when he fell from the roof of a moving SUV. It is a tragedy and I do not mean to make light of it.
Still, the cynic in me feels it's just a matter of time before the manufacturer of the SUV is sued on his estate's behalf for failure to provide a warning sign that it might be hazardous to climb onto the roof of a moving SUV.
What a Country!

I would tend to laugh off your comment except for the fact that during my lifetime manufacturers have found it necessary to put warning labels on ladders telling users they might fall off, on hot coffee saying you might get burned and on tri-cycles saying they may tip over. What is the world coming to? Is it all you lawyers fault?
Thanks for confirming that I am not the only one who noticed this classic. I have forwarded this on to Chicago litigation counsel. Since many of his cases involve the defense side, I am sure he will call this something, but, the "land surfing" comment is right on point.
This should be a clear example for many that our rural areas, the gravel roads are littered with idots, many teenagers,who come out after dark, causing problems for not only themselves but rural people. Oh, the sound reason for comparative faultis most evident.
I did find it interesting that the incident apparently happened as the driver was going around a curve.
Hopefully a lesson for all: Drivers should not drive dumb as well as passengers riding dumber.
Thanks for a new one in my personal memory bank: "Land Surfing Accident in Pleasant Hill not too pleasant for passenger idiot."
