so a little over a year ago, last halloween I had a run in with four lokos, and the thread I saw today in the general forum prompted me to start a blog on my situation.
That halloween I ended up drinking 3 of the drinks in about 2 hours. I ended up blacking out and knocking out my two front teeth. I was sent to the hospitol where I started making a scene and was promptly sent to the drunk tank for the night.
I had to have two root canals performed.
Since the incident I have been in and out of mental institutions for what was originally believed to be schizophrenia, although all of my psychiatrists have agree that I do not exhibit any of the symptoms of such.
I was also on anti-psychotics for 8 months this past year.
I was wondering what TL, especially anyone with any sort of legal background, has to say about my situation. Do you think I have a chance at a settlement? and more importantly, how do I go about starting case for something like this.
P.S.
A friend of mine bought me the four lokos, and I was underage at the time that I drank them, so factor that into any legal calculations you make.
p.p.s
i was a cop that halloween when i ended up in the prison.
TT
edit:it was a blog I saw the article in, here it is

If i can get a consultation with a lawyer, they might be able to get a settlement out of court even... again Im a little fuzzy on all of the details but im pretty sure I have a shot.

There's a government warning right on the can. "Consumption of alcoholic beverages ... may cause health problems".
You're the one who drank too much, none of this has anything to do with Four Loko.
|
Since you were underage when you partook in the drinking of alcoholic beverages, that could significantly damage your chances of even going to court (It might get thrown out just on that basis).
|
You were underage, you have literally no legal standing to sue four loko since they don't sell to minors.

Don't listen to them, follow your dreams.
|
Pretty douche bag move to try to sue them for you being an idiot.
|
this sounds idiotic
being honest
|
There's been legislative action against caffeinated alcoholic beverages like four lokos, but no, you won't get a settlement out of this.
The US is fucked... -_-
|
Lol... You drank 3 of the most fucked up drinks ever in 2 hours while underaged and you think you have a case? Be happy you weren't arrested by the darwin police.

First Mistake: Drinking 3 four lokos
Second Mistake: Trying to Sue.
Third Mistake: Asking for legal help on TL.
|
So let me get this straight...
You see that this company is now now making/no longer shipping this drink. You remember that a year ago, while you were underage (or maybe even still are), you drank too many of these and had some adverse experiences. Now all of these issues such as the supposed schizophrenia you believe you have, and the root canals you needed due to you not being able to control yourself, are to blame because of 3 drinks you drank one evening. Naturally, also, in your view, any other issues you may have had separate from the four locos aren't attributable at all to your negative experiences (or else you can't say that the four locos were the only real cause). Going with that, you must have a very healthy, balanced lifestyle, and happened to just drink some four locos and everything went downhill from there.
Am I right?

hahah your trying to sue because you broke the law and drank underaged, and drank about 15 beers worth in 2 hours. hahahahahahahha even in the USA you won't even get a lawyer willing to represent you
