Here are a list of the crazy judges and courts 
throwing out legitimate cases  and the insane reasons they gave
for them. You didnt think the craziness was always on the side
of the lawsuit filers, did you?

1. Mrs. Kenneth Bruce sued her doctor for malpractice 
after all, he left a surgical clamp and three sponges inside her
when he finished his operation on her in Dallas in January 2007.
His defense? The patient had signed a release and waiver,
promising not to sue. The problem is that Bruce never signed the
release because the nurse forgot to ask her to before surgery.
The Court ruled that if she had been asked, she would have
signed, hence: She constructively signed. Suit thrown out.

2. David Richards bought a handgun in Memphis and left it
sitting on his living room table. During an argument with a
friend, his friend picked it up and shot him with it. Richards
sued the shooter (you thought he was going to sue the gun
manufacturer, didnt you?) But a judge threw out the lawsuit in
February, stating that Richards had assumed the risk of gun
ownership and “everyone knows” that guns are more likely to be
used against their owners and family members than anyone else.

3. Tim Stevens went to a fast food restaurant and bought a
cup of coffee for himself and large diet soda for his friend. A
moment later, his friend noticed that the soft drink tasted
funny. It was laced with cleaning solution. His friend sued the
restaurant, but a judge in Kalamazoo threw out the case in April
because, “You didnt buy the drink from [the restaurant], it was
a gift from your friend. Sue him.”

4. Todd Ryan of Atlanta came home from work this past
February, just in time to see his next door neighbor chopping
down the trees that ran near the property line between their
houses  three feet into Ryans property. In all, the neighbor
cut down 7 trees, all over 100 feet tall. When Ryan sued, the
Judge asked him if there were “No Trespassing” or “Private
Property” signs on the trees. When Ryan told him there were no
such signs  on his trees or anywhere else in his subdivision 
the judge threw out the case. “How was he supposed to know whose
trees they were?” the judge asked.

5. Thomas Marks of Cincinnati bought a 2007 Corvette brand new
from a dealer. Shortly after purchase, he noticed the heater
didnt work. He later found out that the dealer — to repair
another cooling system — had stripped the heater core and a few
other parts out of this Corvette before it was sold to Marks and
forgotten to
replace them. When he returned to the dealer, they told him it
was a “warranty” problem; GM obviously told him it was a dealer
problem. When Marks sued, the Judge asked him to show in the
documentation where he was promised a “heater.” While Marks
could point out the options he was promised, he could not point
to a heater (any more than he could point to a steering wheel or
a glove box) on the purchase agreement. Case dismissed.
