Not even stepping on private property, just crossing through its airspace.
- dragonwriter 3y agoNo, while the airspace and touching a pole allegations were just dismissed, there was also—and still is—a “trespassing by foot elsewhere on the property” allegation that is still live, and it is that allegation to which the comment about “nominal damages” applies. So the original $7.75 million claim wasn’t just for corner crossing.
- kjs3 3y agoOh, well that makes it way more reasonable. /s :-) I guess I shouldn't be surprised. My wife does some work on the medical side of the Personal Injury industry and there's always some comedy about PI lawyers trying to juice the moral equivalent of a stubbed toe into a 7-figure case.
