So apparently Allen Iverson lost an appeal yesterday and was forced to pay $260,000 in damages to a man named Marlin Godfrey. The incident occurred back in 2005 when Godfrey refused to vacate the VIP section of a club. Iverson's bodyguard proceeded to smash his face in with a bottle as well as kick and punch him mercilessly. In the end Godfrey suffered a concussion, a burst blood vessel in his eye, a torn rotator cuff, cuts and bruises, a ruptured eardrum, as well as emotional injuries. Iverson stood idly by watching the events unfold and according to the court was therefore liable.
This news story got me thinking of all the ways in which people aquire funds via lawsuits. While Godfrey seemed to have a fairly convincing case, I found a list of some of the most ridiculous suits of all time: top 12.
