Is it still deprivation of liberty if the person is too old to move?

Question

I am being sued by an elderly woman for deprivation of liberty and mental anguish, but the thing is its only because she couldnt get out from behind the car, any able bodied person could have climbed out from behind there, I shouldnt be punished because she was too feeble to move.

Answer 1

Is this based on a car accident or some other altercation/personal injury case? Generally, the rule is that you take your plaintiffs how they come -- if you do harm that would not cause permanent damage to someone but it did cause permanent damage to this "eggshell" plaintiff, the law says it's more important to compensate the plaintiff, even if it's a little unfair to you.
This doesn't mean that she can state a claim for "deprivation of liberty" (whatever that means) or mental anguish (since most states require pretty good proof for nonphysical damages), but it's certainly something you'll want to talk to your attorney about.

Answer 2

There is a lot that was not said. How did she get behind your car? Did you know she was there? If an abled bodied person wuold have had to climb out then It appears you were the one that made it difficult for the person. I do not know and I think you deliberately left out the reason and I also would bet you are going to pay. Assuming this is a true item.

Answer 3

And why was this your problem?
