Man kills himself over mortgage

The NFL suit relies on the man having been caused brain injury by playing in the NFL, and being inadequately protected.

While there weren't penalties against leading with your head until now, there was never a rule that said you had to. The players played by their own volition and played in styles they wanted to play in. they are just as responsible for their own health as smokers and drinkers are for theirs.

As for the league taking precautions, the equipment used has been evolving as long as the game has been. They've gone from leather caps to actual real helmets.

The suicide suits are both a case where, as I said, there was malice. People took actions intended to harm.

But the schools were sued for not doing anything to stop the malice or to get the proper counseling.

And Yang Xin did not commit suicide. Yang Xin was murdered. It's irrelevant.

I didn't link it for the brief bit on Yang Xin. I linked it for the article being primarily on Daniel Sun Kim, a student depressed because he thought he looked like Seung-Hui Cho, the guy that killed 32 people at that very school. The school acted very disinterested in it all and let it go, despite the recommendations their counseling center.

Despite recommendations by Vicki Arbuckle, assistant director of psychiatry services at Tech's counseling center, and counseling center director Chris Flynn that Kim be invited in for a meeting to discuss the situation, his case was officially closed on Nov.12, 2007.

The fact that the lawsuits exist doesn't really say much other than that we are a litigious society (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). But when you consider that they share the same mindspace with a lawsuit where a lawyer wanted $1,000,000.00 out of a cleaners for losing his pants, it really diminishes the impact.

It's the ones that succeed that mean something.

...a lawsuit where a lawyer wanted $1,000,000.00 out of a cleaners for losing his pants...

Unless you're referring to another case, Pearson v. Chung was the case where a judge sued a dry cleaner's for 67 million for losing his pants. And lost.
