Subject: Re: [YUFORUM] crazed driver

 

One of my graduate students was hit by a car coming

in the wrong way at main gate.  The car had stopped. My student

was in front of the car, and the driver proceeded to

drive right through him and the picket captain.

 

He has torn cartilage in his knee

as a result of the incident.

 

The police told him there is nothing he can do because

technically he (my student) was assaulting the car

by stopping it.  I can't believe that someone can

deliberately run you over with a car.

 

Any one know of a good lawyer that a graduate student

can afford, and a good knee surgeon?

 

Thanks

 

Joel
