And this should really be the fork which gets stuck in it....the Utah supreme court is the highest court for this type of action so there will be no more.

Totally agree. How would this have gone if the victim were three?Suppose the person who got slammed into had been a child who had fallen, and then this child had suffered the same injuries as the woman.
Likely the same. There was no negligence. As both Forrest Gump and I have said before sh!t happens, and frankly the hypothetical 3-year old's parents would have assumed the responsibility that the aforesaid smelly stuff can happen. We, and in this hypothetical they, assume all sorts of risk when we go on the slopes, including that beginners will fall in all kinds of ways on beginner slopes and can lead to unfortunate consequences. The alternative is to stay away from all kinds of skiing. Nuff said.How would this have gone if the victim were three?
Then why 7 pages of discussion here? Again I haven't seen anyone saying it was the wrong decision. What else is there to talk about?
True but haven't heard anything revolutionary here. We still have no idea if the collision was a an unfortunate slow motion bump and awkward fall or a considerable impact at speed i.e. " got blasted". Lessons here are don't over terrain your kid (not sure that is what happened either), and don't stop in the middle, especially in heavy traffic areas. Nothing earth shattering.. now 8 pages.. We need SNOW!!!I can't speak for others, but for me I like analysing these unfortunate events to learn from them. Learn what we can do or not do to avoid it happening again.
Amen brother...True but haven't heard anything revolutionary here.

I think the lesson here is settle out of court.

For the plaintiff.For who? The defendants got a relatively quick summary judgment, it never went to trial. Why would they entertain settlement discussions? I’m guessing they never even happened beyond an initial offer from the plaintiff before judgment. After the decision in their favor they really shouldn’t settle.
Because everyone online is a legal expert, has an opinion and is itching to get back on the snow.Then why 7 pages of discussion here? Again I haven't seen anyone saying it was the wrong decision. What else is there to talk about?
As a ski-town resident, I can assure you that for many tourists, the answer to "do you drive your car this way?" is "yes."...The test for this is "Do you drive your car this way ?" Stop in the middle of the four-lane to take a picture. Pull out of your driveway without a care in the world ; make a two-lane right hand turn ...without checking yo' mirrors ?. Same goes for resuming skiing without looking up-hill ...or parking under a damn roller... Or parking in the Middle of a run on a crest. This goes for ski-school too.
True statement...except the woman in question lives in PC. That fact suggests that there is a good chance that she knows better. Or, at least she should.As a ski-town resident, I can assure you that for many tourists, the answer to "do you drive your car this way?" is "yes."
I wish I had a nickle for every time I thought that about someone.there is a good chance that she knows better. Or, at least she should.
