Dan Blitz Lawyer responds to frivolous lawsuit

[BorntoBubble]

Why should he pay?

Madness. If she has a loss of earnings claim it's against Hustler, not him.

She requested he throw her because she was getting paid a lot of money by Hustler for the opportunity.

She didn't follow directions, they took - for all intents and purposes - due care.

If this was a stuntman in a film would you have him sue the other actor?

Bias because 'the guy is rich' abounds.

and she is an attractive women.

Im going to tred a fine line here but there is an "issue" with attractive women getting themselves into "situations" with wealthy men and then crying foul play afterwords.

Hustler didn't throw her off the roof, he did.

If someone said to me "I have a great idea, climb up there and throw this girl off into the pool while I take a photo of it." My first thought would be "that's a stupid idea, she might get hurt." As opposed to: "Wooo, fuck-yeah, Wooo, B to the L to the I T Zeeeee, Wooo, I'm the fuckin man, Wooo, yeah".which from what I can gather from his public persona is this guys inner dialogue 24/7

She might be thick as two short planks, desperate for attention or approval, drunk, pressured into it or simply didn't think it through. What ever her motivation, he threw her off the roof and his action broke her leg.

Seems only right, rich or not, that he should foot the bill (puns galore) for loss of earnings, medical bills, transport costs, etc.

If the story was "man (occupation and financial worth excluded) throws another person (gender and occupation excluded) off a roof and breaks their leg" then I'm sure most people would immediately think the thrower was liable.

[pokerplayingfarmer]

Completely agree with mulhuzz, she was working, had an accident, if anyone is liable then it's her employer surely?
Yet another case of someone sueing for a quick buck IMO. What if it was the pool man on $25k a year who had been asked to throw her in? Would she be trying to extract $85k out of him? I think not.

[AdamM]

The pool man would still be responsible in that example.
You throw a girl off a roof and she gets hurt, you're responsible.

Mulhuzz stuntman question wins thread

[MintTrav]

She has a legitimate claim against Hustler, who blatantly did not take due care. Less so against the wanker who did the damage but didn't offer to help her out. It's amazing that neither Hustler nor he, with the resources both have, would want to help someone who doesn't have much and who was injured during their shift.

[AdamM]

If she'd died, it would be Blitz that went to prison, not Hustler, which is why I think he should be the one paying up.
Liable or not, it's the decent thing to do. Dudes minted, what's $80k to him?

[theprawnidentity]

Dudes minted, what's $80k to him?

Would be tragic to have to break one.

[AdamM]

Is that one if his pics?
If so, underlines the point.

hmm yes blitz would go to prison but they would also be in deep shit for arrangeing the stunt.

[Boba Fett]

Have to draw the line somewhere, especially in America where people sue for anything.  If you let these through you're going to have loads more follow it

[AndrewT]

She should just start crying - then he might just give her the money.

[pleno1]

omg lololol

[mulhuzz]

Incred. Vwp sir.

Also, the people saying 'he has so much he should just flick her the 85k' are absolutely ridiculous.

If you can afford a tenner why don't you send her it as well. You're about as culpable as he is.

Also, people saying that Hustler didn't take due care are making quite a bold statement on the facts available. You really have no idea what measures they took.

Loss of earnings won't be much, surely they just hold the cameras at different angles...
