[nfb-talk] Tragedy in Denver

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

that would depend on Colorado law as they would probably to file damage 
claims against the driver and the transportation agency if there were in 
fact any problems with the design of the bus stop. The fact that were at a 
stop and not in the street make their right to sue for damages a given. Here 
in California if a blind pedestrian is hit the driver is assumed to be at 
fault and I find it very interesting working in the legal field that many 
personal injury attorneys are not aware of the law in California.
