DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A Rowley man who says he burned the soles of his feet while walking barefoot on a metal ramp at a Danvers marina has filed a lawsuit, saying the facility’s owners should have warned him the ramp was hot.
Norman Pelletier says in his suit he suffered second-degree burns after walking on the ramp at the Danversport Yacht Club in June. His lawyer says he required medical attention.
The lawsuit, filed last week in Salem Superior Court, seeks at least $15,000 in damages.
Pelletier’s lawyer alleges the yacht club’s management was negligent because it didn’t warn visitors the ramp might be hot, and failed to provide a “reasonably safe” environment.
He says the ramp gets up to 120 degrees in the sun.
Marina officials say they have never had any complaints about the ramp.
Gotta love sue happy people any brilliant person knows not to walk
On a metal ramp barefoot in the summer!!! What a jack a$$
who would have thought metal surfaces that have been in the sun all day could get hot?
This guy is an IDIOT!!! Any judge who rules in his favor is a complete moron and should be removed from the bench!!!
They also should have warned him the water ,may be wet!….WOW!
Common sense, don’t people have it anymore!!
People are sue happy today! It is disgusting! That is one reason why our insurance rates are so high!
guess that marina owner should have turned down the sun
Even better. Not only did it not occur to him that metal laying in the sun is hot, but he continued to walk on it after it felt hot and probably hurt him. This guy should get a medal. Not metal, he might do something harmful with it and sue us.
What a moron! /:
If I were the judge, I’d find for the man, and make the marina pay him one pair dock shoes in compensation.
thats what u get for wearing socks and shoes allll year. toughen up baby. go barefoot more often… and why did you keep walking on it. jump, sit, run,
What a ” DUMBASS ” It is June, temperatures in the 80′s and metal. Duh it will be hot! ****ing dumbass.
80 is NOT hot
Jeez, maybe the next time I’m at Hampton Beach I can sue the city for the sand being too hot
Ah, the old McDonald’s hot coffee burned my mouth ploy. And what’s worse, we got lawyers salivating at the mouth to jump on this.
I could never be a lawyer. Couldn’t file a suit like this with a straight face.
seriously?
This guy is a ****ing idiot! !!! Now I know why lions eat their young. So the stupid ones can’t make it!
This lawyer should be ashamed of himself!!! Scumbag lawyers!!
Dumbass! The marina should get money from him to allow this idiot to use their facilities.
Yeah it’s just like time I burnt my hand over an open flame. It was coming out of my stove, so I put my hand over it. The fire it burnt the s–t out of my hand. Do you think I could sue too? The stove didn’t say anything about 1st or 2nd degree burns…..
