    Default Well that's a first...

    Long story short, I opened my MP4 door in a public garage. Didn't see a lady coming up to open the door to her car. Door swung up and hit her just below the jaw leaving a small but open wound, which ultimately required stitches. Fast forward a few weeks, I've been notified that I'm getting sued/harassed for "additional compensation".

    This incident happened in Taipei, but said lady works between NY and Taipei.

    Supercar problems much? fcuk my life.

    Sounds like she watches TV, saw a commercial for a sleazy lawyer who can get her "the compensation she deserves" and the lawyer heard magical words when she described that she was hit in the jaw by a car door belonging to car with a sticker price well north of $200k. Best of luck with the suit, my guess is her lawyer did discovery, found the maximum your insurance is willing to pay to settle and will probably end up doing that, but none the less sucks and is unnecessary.

    Sue her back for negligence and damage to your car's clearcoat. She should watch where she's walking (hopefully in the forward direction).

    If there's one thing I can't stand it's rediculous lawsuits.. How low can one go?
    pathetic..

    Good luck though!

    I hope the judge smack her in the face and bust that wound wide open again.
