Unusual Lawsuits - Anything for a buck

Tweet

These days it seems that people will sue for just about any reason. Here are a few real life examples: J. Stambovsky purchased a house from H. Ackley in Nyack, NY for $650,000. When he later discovered that the house was haunted he sued Ackley for failing to disclose the presence of poltergeists. Ackley was found guilty because she had bragged to her friends for years that her house was haunted. She even did an interview for Readers Digest about haunted houses. J. Haimes, who claimed she had psychic abilities, sued Temple University Hospital after she had a CAT scan that she believes destroyed her powers and left her unable to continue her work as a calirvoyant. Amazingly she was awarded $986,465 by the jury but the Judge disagreed and threw out the verdict. there are so many more out there but I thought these two were really interesting. So what are your thoughts on these two lawsuits and on frivolous lawsuits in general. have you heard about any silly lawsuits? Share your thoughts with us. Thanks.
