Snapchat sued for allegedly causing wreck

Lawyers for a man with permanent brain damage are suing a driver and Snapchat after they say the speed tracker on the social media platform caused the car crash that injured him.
Christal McGee, of Spalding County, Georgia, was driving a Mercedes Benz at about 11:15 p.m. on Sept. 10, 2015, while using a filter on Snapchat that tracks how fast users are moving, alleges the lawsuit, which was filed of behalf of victim Wentworth Maynard earlier this month.
McGee wanted to post an image of herself going fast, so she "pushed the speed of her Mercedes to above 80 miles per hour. McGee then pushed the speed of her Mercedes to above 90 miles per hour. And McGee continued to push the speed of her Mercedes to above 100 miles per hour," according to the lawsuit, filed by attorney Michael Lawson Neff.
So its the fault of the app.
Not the dumb bitch being a stupid dumb bitch.
And of course she snapchats a picture of herself after the wreck.

Her insurance wouldn't cover it. Snapchats on the other hand.....

I don't see how Snapchat's lawyers and executives didn't see this coming with a feature like this. Pretty dumb to open themselves up to this potential in the first place.

The worst part is it sounds like some old man lost his trophy wife.

This is a long way to say she was going 100 mph. We can safely assume she hit 80 and 90 along the way.

Paramedic should have swatted her phone out of her hand the moment he saw her taking "I nearly died" selfies

The speedometer tells you how fast you're going. Silly broads.
Posted on 4/28/16 at 8:09 am to Cosmo
What face swap is that?
Posted on 4/28/16 at 8:10 am to Cosmo
The wrong person died.
Posted on 4/28/16 at 8:12 am to Cosmo
Yea, totally the fault of an inanimate object causing a wreck
Posted on 4/28/16 at 8:13 am to Cosmo
I noticed Snapchat's speed filter now has a "Do Not Snap While Driving" warning on it.

The fact the she took a picture of herself for her snapchat after all this happened really pisses me off. More than it should.

This reminds me of the House of Cards Peachoid episode.
Posted on 4/28/16 at 8:18 am to Cosmo
Didn't know Snapchat updated its filters
Posted on 4/28/16 at 8:19 am to Cosmo
Three months later she was well enough to get back in the woods..

No lawsuit filed to the parent's on this name?

Hope Maynard hits a home run here

First, why on earth would SnapChat have that feature? It just seems like it would be opening you up to this kind of shite. Second, this broad is a fricking moron.

An app shouldn't be responsible for a person speeding. Regardless what it logs or awards. That's silly.
How stupid can you be. That's at your own risk. Perhaps snapchat has a disclaimer or something.. even though they still shouldn't be responsible for personal recklessness.
