A Broomfield man who was rescued from his submerged car during the September floods has filed papers indicating he might sue his rescuers and first responders.

Roy Ortiz was rescued by North Metro Fire Rescue District and others who responded to the scene after his car was washed off the road on Sept. 12. He says crews took too long to respond to the accident after he became trapped in his upside-down car near the intersection of U.S. 287 and Dillon Road in Lafayette.

It's not hard to imagine this suit, if filed, being tossed out on it's ear, so to speak, by the presiding judge. And, it wouldn't surprise me if the judge adds some colorful language to the official documents tossing it.

There are ******** out there who do nothing but look for weak spots in local fire fighting depts. so they can sue. The fact that there are ambulance chasers who will take these cases makes me wanna puke! :barf:

So every dept. has to carry errors/omissions ins. for protection. My position was....don't buy the ins., let them sue for the assets and if they win hand over the keys to the trucks....next time the siren blows.....you respond ******, I'm staying in bed!! :eusa_snooty:
