Frivolous Lawsuit of the Day: An appeals court in Illinois ruled that a woman injured by the body parts of a man killed after being struck by a train can sue the man for negligence.
18-year-old Hiroyuki Joho was run over by an Amtrak train while crossing the tracks near a Chicago Metra station in 2008.
Parts of his body were flung in the direction of the southbound platform, knocking down Gayane Zokhrabov. She sustained a broken leg and wrist, along with a shoulder injury.
Her lawsuit against Joho’s estate was initially dismissed by a Cook County judge, but the appellate court overturned that decision, saying it was “reasonable” to expect Joho to foresee the consequences of his actions.
Zokhrabov attorney, Leslie Rosen, admitted the case was “very peculiar and gory and creepy,” but insisted Joho was guilty of “straightforward negligence.”
“If you do something as stupid as this guy did,” Rosen said, “you have to be responsible for what comes from it.”

If anyone knows how I can contact Rosen, please let me know. Hiroyuki Joho was a VERY close friend to me. He DID NOT commit suicide. He was on his way to see visit his girlfriend. He was planning on taking the Metra, but it was delayed. However, there was no announcement on the platform, and would NOT have KNOWN that the train coming was in fact an Amtrak train that wouldn’t stop.
This Rosen woman is rude and insensitive. “If you do something as stupid as this guy did,” Rosen said, “you have to be responsible for what comes from it.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You are not a parent who survived her child. You are not a girlfriend who lost her boyfriend. YOU ARE NOT A FRIEND WHO LOST A LOVED ONE. Fucking sue for negligence?
Woman, due to your fucking dumbass remarks, you’ll be receiving letters. Trust me.
I may not have known him but I know that what he did was NOT suicide. People just running their mouths. Just let him rest in peace.
What the fuck? Go to hell, bitch.
I better get jury duty for this, because I sure as hell wouldn’t give that lady any money. Any way to get a quick buck. SMGDH. She should be ashamed of herself. Hiro’s family should countersue. It’s times like this I wish I were a lawyer.
What the actual fuck? “If you do something as stupid as this guy did,” Rosen said, “you have to be responsible for what comes from it.” Are you freaking kidding me? Selfish, crazy bitch. Burn in hell.
SMDH Rosen.
I’m sick to my stomach. Hiro and his family deserve SO much more than this. It’s things like this that make me lose faith in humanity.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwz8d3qmUA1qzpwi0o1_1280.jpg)
