Weren't they driving? Why did they use walking directions?
EDIT: Oh, the person who hit her was driving. Well, she has a point, there's a warning on the google maps website but not in the app. Still... I can't help but think that she has mental issues of some kind.
"As a direct and proximate cause of Defendant Google's careless, reckless, and negligent providing of unsafe directions, Plaintiff Lauren Rosenberg was led onto a dangerous highway, and was thereby stricken by a motor vehicle," funny how she called a service on the internet "careless and reckless" as if it was a real person.

Shouldn't have been using her blackberry while driving.

The odd thing is she wasn't driving. She was a pedestrian who walked onto a busy highway.
she walked on a highway?

I figured the terms pedestrian, walking directions and busy highway in the article made that clear enough.

@ Blaze163 I take it you have never heard of the Darwin awards:

If not I apologise for causing a wasted evening/afternoon.

Anyhow stupid woman should know if you are going to file a frivolous lawsuit one generally does it against a company that will actually have to buy in a lawyer and not just shout down the hall.

If the driver who hit her had been speeding, on a highway, she'd be dead.

If she had taken the time to check the "avoid highways" box, maybe she would've been lucky enough to get run over on a residential street.

This is on par with the woman who cut off her own fingertip, dropped it into a cup of Wendy's chili, then tried to sue for finding body parts in her food.

i bet the guys at Google are laughing their guts out at this dumb bitch. she ain't gonna get a cent!!
idk about that people in the US are known for suing for the dumbest shit ever and get paid...i know of one incident where a kid and his friend went on a private property that said no trespassing and ended up drowning in the lake and the parents sued the property owner and won so it wouldn't surprise me if she gets paid for this.

I swear if she wins out on this shit. . .People have nothing better to do with their time. If someone gives me directions and it leads me to a place I deem unsafe, I'm not gonna keep going with it like "Oh well. If I get hurt it's the person's fault for giving me these directions." What a stupid bitch.....

Google says : Ok now turn left and walk of this cliff
Woman says : Ok, seems safe

Woman dies

Husband sues as it was Google's fault, not here fault for following Google's directions without thinking


These things aren't perfect, she probably asked for the fastest way and that was it, she could of used her common sense and just not crossed it. wow people are dumb

Reminds me of the Robot chicken episode where the guy dates his gps XD

You think that's bad. Chavviest thing I ever saw was when I was sent by the job centre on this week long training course (IE: doing collages and treating us like five year olds). Anyway, there was one kid there who clearly had no interest in getting a job of any kind, and spent his time there hitting on the girls there, and actually saying the following...

'If we have a baby the council has to give us a free house.'

Actually deliberately trying to become a parent just to get a council house. And this kid was only about 16 or so. Thankfully the girls had more sense (one actually kicked him in the bollocks for his insolence) but I doubt that kid has a job even now.
