This will be fun to watch - the discovery process in a trial can be a bitch.
From Breitbart:
HARRY REID LAWSUIT AGAINST EXERCISE BAND MANUFACTURER ‘OPENS THE DOORS’ TO HIS BATHROOM, MEDICAL AND BANK RECORDS
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of an exercise band that he claims “broke or slipped” while “mounted to a sturdy object in his bathroom” as he used it on January 1, causing injuries that blinded him in one eye.
“The lawsuit is really going to open the doors if the company’s defense counsel wants to go after Harry Reid,” an attorney and expert on product liability tells Breitbart News.
“Through the discovery process they can get access to his bathroom (where this allegedly happened) medical records, records from his protective detail and much of Reid’s personal information such as bank records,” the expert says.
The civil liability complaint in which the 75-year-old Reid and his wife, Landra Gould, are suing Hygenic Intangible Property Holding Company, The Hygenic Corporation, and Performance Health, LLC, three intertwined corporations that manufacture and distribute the TheraBand exercise band, was filed in Clark County, Nevada District Court by Reid’s attorney, James M. Morgan of the Las Vegas law firm Lanzone, Morgan LLP on Wednesday.
It is an “action for damages which exceeds the amount of $50,000, exclusive of costs, interest, the expenses of this litigation, and attorney fees.”
The general theory is that Reid was beaten up by some people he was screwing over. He was injured over a much larger area of his body than a simple resistance band could cause, even if he fell after the accident. He entered the Senate with very little money and is now very wealthy through property deals in the Las Vegas area.
Must have stepped on someone's toes a little too often... I hope the TheraBand lawyer is a pit-bull and starts digging deep. The bank records will be interesting to say the least.
