Canadian drug victim sues dealer
    #7857896 - 01/10/08 07:07 AM (16 years, 22 days ago)

Crystal methamphetamine is highly addictive
A Canadian woman has successfully sued the dealer who sold her an illegal street drug that put her in a coma.
Sandra Bergen, 23, suffered a heart attack and spent 11 days in a coma after taking crystal methamphetamine.

Ms Bergen said Clinton Davey had known the drug was highly addictive and dangerous but sold it to make money.

Mr Davey refused to name his source of the drug, prompting the Saskatchewan judge to reject his defence - that Ms Bergen had taken the drug voluntarily.

'Hit drug dealers'

Ms Bergen is seeking $50,000 (£25,000) in compensation. A date for a hearing to determine damages has not been set.

"I sued him for negligence... for selling me drugs and getting me hooked when I was vulnerable," Ms Bergen told the French news agency AFP.

She said she hoped her case would inspire others to sue drug dealers.

"I think it's a different way to hit drug dealers financially and that's where it will really hurt them," she told CTV news.

Ms Bergen and Mr Davey were friends from childhood.

In her statement of claim, she said he "knew the drug was highly addictive" and that his dealing was not only "for the purpose of making money but was also for the purpose of intentionally inflicting physical and mental suffering" on her.

In his defence, Mr Davey had argued that Ms Bergen "voluntarily consumed illegal drugs, thus contributing to her own condition."

"She assumed the risks," he said.

Ms Bergen became addicted to drugs when she was 18, CTV news said. She overdosed in 2004 in the province of Saskatchewan shortly before her 20th birthday.

In hospital she was hooked up to a respirator. She said she suffered lung, heart, kidney and liver failure and may never be able to have children.

She said she has since stopped taking drugs.

I have no sympathy for this money grabbing cunt. Dealer didn't abuse you! You went to them. You decided "I want meth" you were the one that fucked yourself up.

Can't sue yourself for gross stupidity though, because you don't have the money. :kingcrankey:

huh? Can he do that?

I thought judges were supposed to rule on matters of law based on, um... the law, not based on whether or not the defendant was willing to rat out his source. This guy should attack this on appeal.

Its like mcdees being sued for making people fat.

I hate this girl so much. It does not matter how stupid the drug is, you still did it out of your own free will or choice. He was not forcing it upon you.

Hell if you can do this then why not just start smoking meth to make some coin. :P

This is the worst drug out there as far as I'm concerned and if this drug dealer gets taken out then be it..
BUT,,, as far as this women suing him on the grounds that he sold her a drug without caring about whether she was going to become addicted is Bullshit.She knew what she was doing and what she wanted.Its not like he sold her the first hit or pushed it on her..She has been doing the crap for 2 years before she bought the bag that made her OD.
Just my two cents

most likely what really happened is the plaintiff asked for the source, he refused to tell them, the plaintiff moved for an order, the judge ordered, defendant ignored, plaintiff moved for sanctions, judge ordered his defense striken as a sanction


the judge could have simply entered a default judgment against the guy

def't would have been better off inventing a story or soemthing, though anything he said would likely have got him into more trouble

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Also, it isn't like she didn't know he had the drugs...this had been her past dealer according to

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/11/drug_coma_lawsuit/

All addicts know that a relapse begins way before the actual relapse happens...and she did nothing to stop it. She claims to have been clean for 8 months...if so why did she see him...she knew he would have drugs and just wanted to get high...then she got in trouble and is now passing blame...typical addict bullshit. She either needs to quit blamin others for her drug use or just continue using...not pass blame on the supplier or other factors. What a dumb bitch...

i think this is fair
she got wut she wanted at least
it would be different if she like asked for weed and it was laced and then it fucked her up
or she took a blotter thinking it was LSD only finding out that it was 5-meo-amt a dangerous drug that causes seizures and then got slapped with a $1000 ambulance bill (
