Man to sue over 'rodent bite to penis' in jail

On the good side of this it is good that I live in a country where prisoners have right and can sue.

On the bad side you live in a country where people sue over anything, real or imaginary, and clog your courts with bogus/silly lawsuits. It's such a litigious country people are afraid to do anything for fear of being sued, and that insanity is spreading north.

Perhaps that is part of the price we pay for living in a free society.

That's the price you pay for living in American society.
If America had it's insurance companies well sorted out, you wouldn't have to sue over nothing.
The Netherlands is a pretty free society, but there will be no suit over bullshit.

If he really was bitten, he should be able to sue. Not that he deserves some huge award, but the state has a duty to keep the prison rodent free. But then, if we don't put all the rats in jail, they'll just be roaming the streets.

But talk about crazy lawsuits, when I was in NZ, they were just discussing the case of a prisoner awarded worker's comp because he broke his leg jumping over a fence in an escape attempt.

I could easily see a similar discussion taking place here too.

Naw, WCB is pretty stingy. They'd award him a big fat victim's compensation check instead. If he was Native, x2, gay Native, x3, etc.

Why sue? He should be able to complain and the prison insurance company should handle it. That is why they (should) have insurance.

Do they? I've never heard about an insurance payout to a prisoner. But then, maybe it's just routine and not reported. He was barely injured anyway, tho rabies shots are no fun. Give him a couple of cartons of smokes and be done with it.

I never heard about a prisoner being bit in the balls by a rodent either, and sue...

I just think you can avoid a lot of lawsuits by being insured properly.

Prisons are insured by the federal or provincial government depending on what type of institution it is. A private insurance company would be crazy to insure for liability an institution that houses criminals.

One question that wasn't asked is why the guy was lying in bed in prison either naked or with his ding-dong hanging out?

Maybe it bit him right thru is pjs. Do they issue pjs to cons?

You know Prison life is tough when the rats turn to Prostitution. Probably should practice a bit first though.

"In my prison cell i sit
With my britches full of $hit
and my balls are bouncing gently on the floor
and i see the bloody snag
when she bit me in the bag
oh, i'll never f--- a polack any more"
