- And Finally, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Yet Again) is brought to us this week by Usry v. City of Sandersville, in which two sanitation workers had taken the “boom truck” out do pick up yard debris. They parked the truck and got out to “collect a small amount of yard waste.” No idea why the opinion specifies that it was a small amount. Factors not at all in the decision and doesn’t particularly paint a picture. Anyhoo, as the trucked was parked – with its lights flashing – an SUV slammed into its backside, “without braking or even slowing prior to impact.” Mom was seriously injured and lost consciousness. The three y/o in her car seat was undoubtedly a bit – literally and figuratively – shaken. And likely stirred. (And also just fine.) The two sanitation workers pulled both mom and daughter from what was by then an SUV increasingly engulfed in flames. Mom’s thanks for their heroism? You guessed it – lawsuit. Investigators were at a complete loss as to why mum didn’t see the enormous truck, but did throw her a bone by suggesting that the sun might have been in her eyes. Goddamn sun! What’s it ever done for us?
