Nickelback Singer Sued over Busted Face

Chad KroegerThe lead singer of Nickelback is accused of beating the crap out of a furniture sales representative -- but the alleged victim claims it's Chad Kroeger's lack of remorse that hurts the most.

In the lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Noah Morse claims Kroeger "punched [him] forcefully in the mouth" while outside of a Vancouver bar back in 2007.

Morse says the devastating hit to the kisser made him lose consciousness, suffer a concussion and caused extensive damage to his grill -- including "one deadened front tooth... dislodged upper front teeth and permanent discoloration of more front teeth."

Morse -- who says Kroeger "expressed no remorse" over the fight -- is suing for a fistful of reasons, including loss of income and medical expenses.

3. Please why the HELL did it take this guy 2 years to file a suit and why was Chad not arrested and charged with assult back them. The cops would have loved to have busted his ass. It freaking greed. Seriously. Also like he's not the first "rockstar" to get into a fight!!! I don't have time to write all the stars who have.

6. "I've been wrong, I've been down to the bottom of every bottle..." says it all. Civil court has become the "court of last resort" for people who can't try criminal cases.

7. I ABSOLUTELY HATE, HATE, HATE NICKLEBACK! I hate the sound of Kroeger's voice, or should I say, non-voice. He is also the ugliest man on the face of the planet! AGAIN, I HATE NICKLEBACK!!!!

8. He probably waited two years to see the full extent of damage and to determine how much his dental bills are. I had Kroger has to pay big to this man. That man has to live with permanent damage for the rest of his life, and celebrities are not above us and act like they are. Make him pay!!

9. Katheryn You hating Nickelback has what to do exactly with Chad being sued. Oh ya nothing!!! Hate Nickelback if you want but the piss off is if you went out and you had money would you want to be sued by some a$$hat looking for money. NO you wouldn't. After all lets face it have you seen Chad. He looks 2 pounds wet. How could he cause all this damage and not have had any done to himself. Unless this guy is a momma's boy (metrosexual) ....which is possible in Vancouver !!!

11. Hard to believe that dude has that much hitting power.

12. Hmm, well I too wondered why would he wait 2 years to sue, but that theory of waiting to see how extensive his damage and work has been to his teeth, mouth etc. seems rather logical to me. Also, why weren't the police called, a report made, and he arrested? That part doesn't make sense.

13. i find it annoying how YEARS later people will suddenly sue for emotional and physical damages. Nickelback star is innocent, and the idiot simply wants false money. Thanks TMZ!

14. Nickelback sucks. Stop listening to these guys so they'll disappear.

15. Ok, first and foremost, does anyone at TMZ know how to spell, use proper english or at the very least, PROOF any of their articles? For example, among others, 'allegedly being a unremorseful, ass-kicking, street brawling super bully...' A E I O U are vowels folks! (A) or (AN)...hmmmm, Jesus I guess it only takes a couple brain cells and a blackened heart to work for TMZ. Secondly, as a student working toward a legal career, people tend to wait months and sometimes years to file suit for the above mentioned reason by other posters. Not every health, medical or injury is resolved within months, if ever. Who are we to assume why this plaintiff didn't file suit until now? It could be for a long list of reasons. Ultimately, the bottom line is if the incident did in fact occur as the plaintiff claims, damages are indeed in order, regardless of the time of filing (with the exception of statue of limitations and they do range for different claims)....Bottom line, everyone has to pay the piper sometime and if this claim is true, I hope the plaintiff is awarded for a large sum.
