[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 866936, member: 2189"] More, You can file a lawsuit for anything you like in this country. In the legalzoom article I linked, a Virginia prisoner in the custody of the State of Virginia sued himself. Yeah, he sued himself on the grounds that his own choices in life caused him to be in prison in the first place. His ultimate goal however was to make a claim that being his bad self was a ward of the State of Virginia, the State would have to pay any awards granted by the courts. That suit was tossed from the get-go onto the pile of other previous failed suits this guy had filed. Also you qualified your previous statement by stating the following: We are talking about a burglar suing for slipping and falling and not being shot. Being shot or shot at has resulted in many, many lawsuits so that's nothing new. The question is such suits come down to whether the homeowner's life was in peril or just their lost of property. The fact that the doctor (in the link you posted) in question shot the intruder in the back raises questions and may be one reason this case is allowed to proceed. No argument the burglar was wrong to be there and there also may be other facts not revealed in the article that also supports the doctor's actions but regardless, this case is not specific to the conditions you set forth in your original post. Show me a case where a burglar has illegally entered a home. slipped, fell and then sued the homeowner under those terms and conditions. Focus! Focus! Focus! And such suits are very possible so there may be one, there may be many but so far I've found none. You made the claim so let's see it!
