Like getting hit with a puck 6 years ago?
Don't be ridiculous, would an actual fan of the sport ever sue for that?
I'm sure it was the girls first time, and I'm sure she'll never go again. Like most people through the Odyssey doors who check it out.

I would hardly call someone suing the Giants a "fan" of the club... Not a 'real' fan anyway, eh? Makes you wonder, what could a team get away with doing to a 'fan' before said 'fan' can be allowed to show umbrage against the team, without having their 'fan' status questioned? Didn't Corey hit a fan with a puck. From memory he hit the puck after play had stopped, slapped the puck "in temper / frustration" and it hit a kid. There was the normal outcry across fan forums, but what came of it.?

Hope she didnt keep the puck or they might have to deduct the cost of it from her settlement.

She's taking the fanbase mantra at face value. "Never forgive, never forget."

Surely they should be chasing the owners of 2008? It is a different owner now isn't it?
The defendants can state that the family should have moved after announcements were made that pucks were being used in warm up.
Were there no warnings on the ticket to state 'no liability'?

The defendants can state that the family should have moved after announcements were made that pucks were being used in warm up. Were there no warnings on the ticket to state 'no liability'? In pretty much any personal injury claim it's actually the defendant's insurance company that you claim from. This means that with claims against old employers where the company is no longer trading, if you can track down the insurer at the time then you can make your claim. It's a shame when there are spurious claims made for minor injuries as this creates the 'ambulance chaser' perception that people have alluded to on here. However, if anyone knows someone who has had life-changing injuries as a result of an accident, then a law firm offering a no-win no-fee service is vital for recovering compensation as not many of us could afford to pay a solicitor's hourly rates for several years.

Time to start another new club me thinks.
There must be a precident already set in this country? How many footballs have gone into the crowd over the years, someone must have sued and had it thrown out already.
This should and will be thrown out imo

Time to start a new club again, lol.
If they don't get signed disclaimers and insurance for these events they only have themselves to blame.
