I agree with you that Kahne was being a jerk (painful as it is to admit... heck, my folks got me a #9 Kasey Kahne fleece throw for Christmas!), the guard's lawsuit is ridiculous. He's suing for:
- Bodily injury
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Mental anguish
- Inconvenience
- Loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life
- Aggravation of an existing disease or physical impairment
- Activation of a latent disease or physical impairment
- Expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment in the past
- Expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment to be so obtained in the future
- Earnings lost in the past
- Loss of ability to earn money in the future
I think it's a little ridiculous to come up with that list for being shoved.
