nope duncan/manu/robinson would not have been at that club. and nope duncan/manu/robinson would not be suing for 20 million.

Parker's 30 fucking years old.

Being at the same NYC club as Chris Brown and Drake??? Whottt a loser.

:lmao

Dumb motherfucker, there's a reason you're pink.

Seriously though Parker needs to try and stay out of the media for a while after this. This and last years fiasco with Brent Barry's wife make him look a huge tool. C'mon Tony

tbh, if that did happen, 20m isn't fair since Parker's remaining contract is worth 20m, and he's currently in his prime which means he'd be losing an additional 5 years or so on top of that.

In that scenerio, he should be sueing for 50m+ to make up for lost "expected revenue". And 50m is an understatement considering he'd also lose advertising deals and other such things.

Parker had eye surgery and his eye condition is much worse than originally thought, he says he could have lost his eye.. He has to return to USA on July 5th at the demand of the Spurs and then will know his status for the Olympics..

Someone translate: http://www.tp9.net/mediaboxfr/jai-fa...oeil-2373.html

Great, a PG with one good eye.

He should invest in sports goggles a la Kareem - the Spurs are doing their best Showtime impression already anyway.

TP is coming back to NY to check his eye,spurs staff is really worried about him...he almost his eye..and his career..thats why his lawyer sui the club...

he may not play in London if his eye isnt well recovered...on of his dream..i really hope he will play (moreover i bought tickets to see FRANCE VS SPAIN on 15th juilly @ bercy, Paris)

he is coming back in usa on 5th jully...not before because he cant take an international plane (too long hours maybe)

Wtf bye bye fnt :bang:bang:bang

Parker sues now, because it forces the club to preserve evidence, find witnesses and so on, so the club has a better shot at subrogation.

Damages = cost of medical treatment (easy to prove), possible loss of future salary (speculative at this stage, but by the time of trial maybe not so speculative).

Security is one issue. Another is whether the glass was broken by a drunk. Who served the drunk alcohol?

He cannot sue for what he might lose, only what he has lost. He has to show financial loss. If he loses his career, he can then sue. If he misses the Olympics, that could be worth a lot to him personally though.

Why is it ironic? Have there been incidents at Tony's club?

:lol

So true.

There's a lot of stupid in this thread. The club is in charge of security there and is responsible to make sure bar fights do not happen and that the patrons that visit there are not injured. Thats common fucking sense. So those of you saying that the club somehow didn't have a responsibility to prevent a brawl from occurring on its premises are out of your minds.

You can have a retina detachment or disease, but you're not getting that scratched unless something goes all the way through the eye.

:tu

In my haste, I didn't notice the error.

Regardless, I'm thinking that Parker's cornea is of comparable valuable to his retina tbh.

:lol 20 million

So you can't sue for pain and suffering?

You can, but here's the deal, to be awarded for pain and suffering you must prove that the accused maliciously intended to cause you pain. That will be a tough sell since the club is the accused and the claim is that the club knowingly gave alcohol to two waring groups which caused the damages. I doubt you could successfully claim that the club maliciously gave alcohol to both groups with the intent of hurting Parker.

so how come he didnt fight back, let alone the douchebag he was hanging out with, let alone his freeloading entourage???......

To further my point, Parker will most likely receive damages caused by an injury that took place at the club, since it is the clubs responsibility to insure the safety of its guests. This won't be too difficult to prove with a good lawyer.

A lot of people don't realize that they're responsible for what happens on their property even if it's the guests fault; if proven to be neglect by the owner.
