I’m involved in a crazy case right now
0:07
um it’s been going on for five years so
0:10
my client was um she was um at a beach
0:15
out in Long Island with her friend and
0:18
two guys ride up on jet skis and they
0:20
say Hey you girls want to ride so her
0:22
friend jumps on one she jumps on the
0:24
other the guy he guns the jet ski you
0:27
know she falls off the back with her leg
0:29
spread and the jet from the jet ski
0:31
shoots up into her vagina and her rectum
0:33
explodes her vagina explodes her rectum
0:36
she’s taken to a hospital she’s in a
0:37
coma for two weeks she’s had about 12
0:41
operations to try to repair you know all
0:43
the damage that was done just horrendous
0:45
case so we sued the manufacturer of the
0:48
jet ski product liability case so the
0:50
case has been going on going on for you
0:52
know five years now and we have to have
0:54
a trial schedule for this summer this
0:56
poor girl has to she’s 33 now she has to
0:59
use a cathet the rest of her life
1:00
whenever she wants to urinate it’s
1:02
called an orifice injury and you don’t
1:04
hear about it but it does happen and the
1:06
manufacturers are aware of it we
1:09
actually bought uh another jet ski and
1:11
we redesigned the seatback raised the
1:13
seat back to make it so it would prevent
1:16
this kind of injury from happening we
1:17
hir these engineers in California and
1:20
the jet ski manufacturers their defense
1:22
they say that everybody should wear a
1:25
wet suit bottom neoprene bottom when
1:27
you’re riding a jet ski of course nobody
1:29
knows that you know and they say that’s
1:31
their defense she didn’t have her
1:32
neoprene bottom on it would have
1:34
prevented this injury so you know that’s
1:37
that’s the defense if we go to trial
1:38
it’s it’s a product liability case
1:40
they’re not as easy as like you know a
1:41
motor vehicle case it’s not as simple
1:43
you have to prove you know what’s called
1:45
a defective product an unreasonably
1:47
dangerous product and the jesi
1:49
manufacturers have won most of them that
1:51
have gone to trial but we have a a good
1:54
case put together so we’ll see doesn’t
1:56
settle we’re going to trial in june
