New York woman sues 12-year-old nephew over hug that broke her wrist
Human resources manager Jennifer Connell claims nephew acted unreasonably when he leapt into her arms to welcome her to his eighth birthday party

She is seeking $127,000 in damages from the boy, whose mother died last year. Westport News also reported that the 12-year-old appeared confused as he sat in the courtroom with his father. Connell reportedly testified that she loves her nephew, whom she described as always being “very loving, sensitive” toward her.

He had been riding his first two-wheeled bicycle – which was bright red, according to testimony – around his home. When Connell arrived, he dropped it. “I remember him shouting, ‘Auntie Jen, I love you!’ and there he was flying at me,” Connell reportedly testified.

Woman who sued nephew over wrist-breaking hug receives zero damages
Connecticut jury takes just 25 minutes to reach decision in case of Jennifer Connell, who said the then eight-year-old acted unreasonably in his greeting

Of the damage done, Connell testified that she did not complain at the time, but she said her life had been “very difficult” since the injury because of “how crowded it is in Manhattan”. “I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she reportedly said.

不过这个案子好奇怪啊，阿姨是2011年受伤的，当时外甥8岁。去年外甥的妈，也就是原告的姐妹去世了，然后今年才告的外甥。也许是不忿姐妹的财产都归了老公，为了争遗产出的怪招？就是太怪了。。。

又看到一个文章:

没有我想的那么复杂，就是这位阿姨医疗费用太高，她的医疗保险公司不付那么多，外甥的homeowner insurance company只付1块钱。阿姨自称走投无路了，才起诉外甥，如果外甥败诉，那个homeowner insurance company就会付钱了。所以名义上是告外甥，其实是逼迫保险公司付钱。另外就是，纽约和康州这种personal injury诉讼时效是3年，2011年发生意外，阿姨应该是2014年起诉的，之前大约在跟医院和保险公司扯皮，那么这会儿才出结果也说得通。

这个故事教育我们，一般看着就不合常理的事情，多半不合常理。

难道不是，
“一般看着就不合常理的事，多半有个合常理的背后的原因？”

但是她在法庭上的证词是，不方便拿饭前菜点，而不是，我有这么多医疗费。而且她有医疗保险。

说医疗保险coverage 不够。她做了三次手术。她侄子这是有多沉啊。
