Colorado Man Sues Divers Who Saved Him From Submerged Car

A Colorado man, despite acknowledging that he's lucky to be alive after being trapped in a submerged car, has filed an intent to sue his rescuers for half a million dollars.
Roy Ortiz filed his intent to sue the county of Boulder and his rescuers for a tentative $500,000 as a "preservative" measure, his attorney, Ed Ferszt, told ABCNews.com.
Ferszt said the county should have closed the road during floods in September. He said the first responders were also included because they did not realize Ortiz was trapped in the car until they prepared to lift it out of the water.
"He was not seen or it was assumed no one could have survived it," Ferszt said. "No one discerned he was there."

A small quibble - he hasn't sued yet, he filed an intent to sue, whatever the hell that is.
It sounds like his lawyers convinced him to do this so he can pay his medical bills. Pretty crappy thing to do though.

“Local media picked up on that and the whole narrative became, ‘Oh - flood victim sues rescuers.’ And that's not even the case at all.
“Well what is the case?” asked Haythorn.
“Well, well let's talk for a second about the divers," said Ferszt. “If divers went into the water in an attempt to locate Roy and they didn't see him there, as dangerous a job that it is -- and we are thankful for first responders, that was a mistake. And the legal term for that mistake is negligence.”

Bet he's a liberal. "Government should have stopped me from being an idiot. My own judgement can't be trusted."

I'm pissed at the first responders too...
For not letting his fatass meet it's fate.

"'Aren't you just happy to be alive?' asked 7NEWS reporter Russell Haythorn.
“Well, I'm happy. I'm really happy to be alive," said Ortiz. “But I'm looking for some help with my bills."
Ortiz still suffers from shoulder issues and difficulty sleeping. To date, he says he’s racked up $40,000 in medical bills.
"I don't have the money to pay," said Ortiz. He also said he’s already receiving collection notices.
“People react like I am a bad man for filing this,” said Ortiz. “It's not like that. I just tried to defend my rights. My name is being defamed; I've been working for the same company for 17 years, I'm co-pastor of a church in Aurora. People know me. I’ve never caused trouble.”
This is the winner of worst person of the day.
