A Texas family is seeking at least $1 million in damages following a devastating tragedy that should have been prevented.  A broken Arby’s walk-in freezer door latch played a pivotal role in the death of the restaurant’s general manager, Nguyet Le.  The employee, who was 63 years old, essentially passed away from hypothermia.  As a result of the faulty door latch, Le was trapped inside the freezer that was set to the company policy of at least minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit.  Her four children have since filed a wrongful death lawsuit and are blaming her death on gross negligence.

Golfer Won’t Stand FORE! It

Bogey comments

A well-known commentator for the Golf Channel, Brandel Chamblee, has gone out of bounds with his rhetoric against golf pro, Patrick Reed, and is now facing a $750 million defamation lawsuit.
