Doug, I have a unique solution to the problem, that in my great generosity will give away for free:

“People are just not looking down when they are walking.”

People should start looking down when they are walking.

No charge, Doug, but only for you, my friend.

Doug – you assume it’s a receiver hitch. I remove mine because in all probability it’s going to be me who takes one to the shin.

Doug,
Would you want this for her?

There is a difference between someone being injured and someone causing that injury.

Every bass fisherman and woman in the nation has their attorney on speed dial awaiting the outcome of this one!

Never thought it was a big deal because I used to leave my hitch on too. I watched a 79 year old lady walk into one recently. Broken hip and broken elbow. It was so sad to see. This could have been anyones mother. Would you want this for her? I will never leave my hitch in place when I’m not using it ever again. People are just not looking down when they are walking. I felt really bad for her.

Could the Councilmember be going after an extortionate settlement from Mr. Day’s insurance company. Brooklyn juries, like Bronx juries, love to redistribute wealth.

In all seriousness, there should be a group of responsible lawyers somewhere who are tired of this bull crap and can offer this poor guy their services and counter-sue this woman.

Until some of you stand up to your frivolous suit generating peers and hit them where it hurts, none of this nonsense is ever going to stop.

Well, doesn’t this fit into the NYC culture where you can sue the city if you trip on an elevated (I think 1/4″) crack in the sidewalk that has been reported to the city, but not yet fixed?
