Rosenberg, a Los Angeles California native, is suing Google because Google Maps issued directions that told her to walk down a rural highway. She started walking down the highway--which had no sidewalk or pedestrian paths--and was struck by a car. She is suing Google for her medical expenses ($100,000), as well as punitive damages. She is also suing the driver who struck her, Patrick Harwood of Park City, Utah.

its all bullsh^t, she shouldn't be walking in the middle of traffic.

[Awesomeness!!]

ahhh the American dream: Sue somebody.

ya...didn't read the article so I failed to see she was walking in the middle of the road! In hindsight, the driver should have done us all a favor and backed over her a couple of times.

This woman is a moron.

My friend's GPS once put us on a wild goose chase through the slums of LA. Fun stuff. This woman is retarded though, whenever a GPS or online directions system wants to send me down side streets or alleys I have to stop and question that.

You gotta draw the line somewhere, sue the person that hit you for medical bills, but nothing more.

Suing somebody for hitting while walking down a rural road is a very odd situation. You shouldn't be walking down a rural road and they person shouldn't have hit you. It's hard to say who is more at fault. Very tough situation.

I almost hit somebody walking down a rural road at night, they were wearing all black. Wouldn't have lost a bit of sleep over it, I would have felt worse for a bug that spattered on my windshield.

The person in the vehicle is always responsible.

Also roads are not only for cars and trucks. Walking on the side is perfectly acceptable. Walking in the middle of the road though...
