A Canadian driver has opened a legal case in an Ontario Superior Court against the family of a teenage accident victim. Demanding compensation of over $1 million, she claims the tragic event has lessened her "enjoyment of life."
In Hebrew, there's a good word
for it. Chutzpah. It means "extreme
arrogance, brazen presumption."
What other word can express the audacity of the
motorist, who after hitting and killing a teenage bicyclist, has now decided to
sue the estate of the boy's family for over $1 million? That takes a hell of a lot of nerve.
The
Ottawa Citizen reports that lawyers for Sharlene Simon filed the claim last
December in Ontario Superior Court, alleging that she “has sustained and will
sustain great pain and suffering,” including “a severe shock to her system.” On
top of that, according to the court documents, Simon's "enjoyment of life has been and will be
lessened.”
