Stupidity is rewarded
felix-3595822 December 2021
This episode describes what really happens sometimes in real court. Some may remember that a woman won millions of dollars because she spilled hot coffee on herself in a fast food restaurant. I remember a case where family won millions of dollars because their son drawn on a property of a marine club. Prosecutors persuaded jurors that a 6- or 7- foot fence was not high enough to climb, and a sign "No swimming" was not that visible in a dark. So, when a young person got hurt or killed even by his/her own stupidity jurors' common sense goes down the drain and they feel obligated to help a victim, and "evil" insurance company must pay damages. Why not, it's not jurors money. When reviewers here complain that this episode is bad I should say that cases like that happen in real life.

Like I said before: no legal advisors.

For the purpose of this review I am going to ignore the plot twists of the earlier accident and the consequent withdrawal from the case of the insurance company. So this is where we are: a 14 year old boy climbs a ten foot fence and gets up on the roof of a pizza joint. He falls off and ends up in a wheel chair. He then sues the owners of the pizza place, because his injury is their fault. The logic of his attorney is: if you put a piece of pizza on the roof of your shop, it's basically an invitation to teenagers to climb up. Hm, really? Despite the ten foot high fence, with a chain lock, despite a warning sign saying "no trespassing"? Seems a little farfetched to me. This attorney then goes on to state that the shop owners should have put up a sign saying: "Danger, do not climb on the roof". REALLY? And THAT would have stopped him??? If anything, such a sign would have been an open invitation. Does this show not use legal advisors?

Ridiculous, aggravating, disappointing (at best), ....

What in the world!! My teenage kids and I (ages 16 and 18) enjoy the Bull series together each week and we were ALL appalled that the choices and LIES of this boy were rewarded with 4 million dollars. Heck, ANY amount would have been unbelievable! The fact that the young mans LIES were viewed as 'no big deal' and actually used by the 'good guys (Bull and his team)' to get the insurance company to capitulate is disappointing at best! Sure, a life changing injury for anyone, especially a 14 year old, is tragic ...but HE and HE allow made the choices that led to his injury. This episode illustrates so much that is WRONG WITH the current state of affairs/thinking/views... lying is okay, we are not responsible for our actions, others are to blame for any ill that should befall us ....CRAZY!!

Major Spoiler Alert!!! Disappointing Episode.

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! I really enjoy watching this show ( I gave it 7 stars which for me is a lot). I've seen every episode so far and will continue to look forward to watching new episodes. HOWEVER, this particular episode basically allowed a 14 years old boy make a boat load of money for committing perjury. While it's true he got hurt badly while performing a boneheaded stunt, he lied under oath. Everyone on Bull's team knew it but forced the insurance company to pay this liar double the original settlement offered by the plaintiff or face being sued by them. To say I was disappointed by this plot twist would be the understatement of the year. So, c'mon writers and execs, try to keep it real as you have been. Thank you.

The boy's family should not have been rewarded

I was disappointed in that the insurance company ended up giving the family money for the boy's injuries. The accident happened because the boy was stupid and showing off. The insurance company is not responsible for stupidity.

Very Disappointed
abones1130 November 2019
Sadly, a young man got hurt. However, why should an insurance company pay for stupidity? They make the insurance company and the small business owners look like criminals. So sad.

Hurting children in fictional law suits is not needed
davidburtonphd30 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I am a family man. Bull, an interesting show with good actors, and some controversy, is about to lose this viewer due to the number of episodes, like this one, in which children are hurt or killed. Please stop.
