Benefit To Be Held For Man Injured In Collision With Runaway Horses

I'm not against helping Brandon with his medical bills but shouldn't the owner or owners of the horses be paying this man's bill and making sure his family is taken care of?

I agree with Kirk. There is a Liability issue here!

Tulsa County took the fence down to do drainage work, a fence company was to come and do the repairs, but as is the case with county worker, when it came time to go home they left with the fence down. So the county is at fault but try to get them to admit it.

It would be in the best interest of Greehill Farms to be taking care of this man, until they make full payment for the damages. Instead they want to deny it was their fault.
Believe me after the court dust settles the Osburn family could own part of the farms.
A friend of mine suffered permament physical disability from an accident, and the court awarded her well over a million.

sorry aout the double entry

Someone needs to own up to leaving that fence down.

Who's Debi Groom??

Debi Groom is Brandons mother who passed away 09/21/07. Brandon and his brother kept the money raised from her cancer benefit that was suppose to help with her medical bills. Now they want to do a benefit for him ?

"If" the County left the gate open.. partial liability, however it would still be up to the land owners to secure the horses in a pasture known to be fenced properly. If the owners had knowledge of the work being done by the County that day, then they should have either moved the horses or determined the risk. I can't imagine they intentionally ignored a down fence. Horses are not a cheap hobby. Especially polo ponies.

Also, did this person not have insurance? It will be years before a judgement will be made to determine fault. In the meantime, according to law..it will be up to him to pay his medical expenses to date.

Very interesting...

I have been wondering since the news broke about the downed fence, why the "caretaker" did not confirm that the fence was repaired. Sounds like someone was asleep at the switch. Not saying the county and the fence company aren't at fault, just that there is plenty to go around.

Man, if this guy did keep the money for his mother's medical bills, that is pretty low. I wouldn't be able to live myself if I did something like that.
