Has there ever been a case when a zombie has sued for their life insurance and won?

No, and don't you wonder if that is what makes them so mad, and gives them their impetus for chasing after the living--in particular, family members?\n\n"Yoooouuuu took myyyy insuuuuuurance moneeeyyyy. Now I eat your braaaiiinsss!"

That quite depends on the cause of death.  I have consulted on cases where an autopsy would not show anything that was not known.  \n\nHowever, if she is not buried or cremated yet, it would be best when the case is filed, shows that you are ready to hear the truth and want everything that is truthful to be available.  If the action that constituted the malpractice was documented afterward, you can probably proceed with the suit.  Remember that malpractice suits can be filed even when a patient lives through the incident, but it does require good documentation in the medical records.\n\nIf you would add some details, I will recheck and see if I can be of more assistance.

You can sue anyone for anything at anytime.  Whether or not you'll be SUCCESSFUL is another matter.  I actually think you're worrying about something that won't happen.\n\nLove Jack

In my case, you're preaching to the choir.  However, there are probably some out there who have difficulty understanding that logic.\n\nIf a person chooses to body surf down Niagara Falls, should their survivors be able to sue the government? That makes about as much sense as Mexico suing us for endangering their citizens who are trying to enter OUR country ILLEGALLY.

Yes, if they have sued you and won a judgement against you in a court of law.  Were you sued?

You can sue for anything you want whether you win or not is another story.

I doubt the state could be sued for negligence.  We live in a country that you are innocent till proven guilty.  For the innocent that are charged this is good.  For the innocent no charged the guilty that are free to walk this sucks.

I would assume that falls under the "assumption of risk"- just like you can't sue someone if you get hit by a baseball at a baseball game.  You would have to prove they attempted to injure you intentionally, or that you did not know that people threw beads from floats at mardi gras.  They would both be incredibly hard to prove.

Unfortunately, no.  It varies.  I say unfortunately because the tort system is the best system in the world. It assigns responsibility to those who cause harm.  In a perfect world each person would be responsible for their own actions. If they caused harm they would pay for the harm caused and then some.  However in some states the insurance industry has lobbied to do away with such laws and call it "no fault."  However in "no fault" states, individuals get less compensation and have no where else to turn.  The law takes away their individual rights.  This is the same in states that have limits on how much you can sue a doctor for when he causes death or injury.  \n\nSome states and many Republicans believe that limits of 250,000 is enough to compensate for the death of a child, stay at home mom, young single adult or elderly person - essentially a non-bread winner.  This places the accent of the law in a group of people who the law sets above everyone else - doctors and their insurance companies guaranteeing them a profit rather than allowing the individual to seek full justice.  Placing the accent on the group (the doctors) means that the government has decided "the greatest good for the greatest number."  \n\nThis is not our American system, but that of Jeramey Bentham. Our County was founded upon Lockes the two tresises of Government, upon Jefferson and Adams - the individual matters.  These days, the individual is only worth 250,000 and unless you help change that then your auto case will be worth nothing too.  \n\nSo sit on juries and make sure that you don't just blame the poor sole who was injuried for suing some company - place the responsibility on the company or person who is the defendant - they are denying responsibility and trying to play you for a fool by blaming the injured party or claiming that he wasn't injured too badly or that his medical costs were too high - rather than accepting responsibility.  As a juror - you are Karma - you make justice.  So vote and serve on a jury and find for the plaintiff.  When awarding damages don't be shy to give full justice not half justice as money is inferior - so give a lot.

If a doctor or court were to sign a death certificate declaring you legally dead, and subsequently you came back to life, then you would have an argument that you had served your sentence completely.\n\nWhether such an argument would actually hold up in a court is arguable, because your revival would be in the same body with the same mind, fingerprints, memories, predispositions, etc. \n\nBut, it's an interesting question. \n\nHowever, if you only were medically dead for a very short time, and no death certificate was yet signed, then you would not have legally died, therefore you would not have served your entire sentence.

Yes.  The zombie brought chocolate.  Or maybe that was the giant bunny in the waistcoat.  I get them confused.  :)

Didn't I already answer this?\n\nYes they can. People can sue for anything these days. Wether they win or not is a different story, but they still can sue.

yes it is possible to sue someone you've never met personaly\n\nno I dont think it would be possible to sue for that though, people lie all the time, and its not like he suffered a fninancil loss or anything, maybe he could say emotional distress but I think he would have a hard time proving and suing for that

I will give you a real world example.  I represented my father's construction company in a lawsuit.  He paid a subcontractor in full for work done on a project, but the subcontractor failed to pay for the concrete he used because of financial difficulties.  The concrete supplier filed a lien which my dad had to pay.\n\nI filed a lawsuit on his behalf.  The subcontractor filed an znswer to the lawsuit that admitted he owed my dad the money and needed more time to pay.  There was no factual dispute and the court granted a motion I filed called a motion for judgment on the pleadings.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. This is a decision that the underwriter has to decide. If the convicted person has no crime in the past 5 years and has no intent in doing so in the future, then the underwriter maybe able to give insurance. If this person is a repeating offender, then the underwriter will have to deny insurability (because the convict may get himself killed by the cops or by someone else).

I'll say they do.  They are just dead on their feet all day.\n\n\nThank you, Bearded, thank you Everyone, you are all too kind. It's like this, my first Zombie followed me home from a school field trip to Forest Lawn Celebrity Cemetery and I haven't been able to bury him in the past yet. My new book on the "Care and Feeding of your Zombie" comes out in June. I hope you all will buy it. Again, thanks. *Sits down modestly*
