I agree totally. If only America hadn’t lost its collective mind.
Well you know, no offense Nort, but if we weren't graduating 3000 lawyers a year from our law schools, we might get some sanity back. Just saying, it's hell keeping all the sharks fed...

I think the number is much higher than that Barry. But I don't blame the lawyers. I blame the juries. If juries stopped handing out such unreasonably high verdicts and awards ... and individuals were held responsible for their own actions ... (i.e., if I spill coffee on me ... that's on me ... not the restaurant that served hot coffee) the impetus to sue would be greatly diminished. Just one lawyer's opinion.

You are so right, Nort. Everyone sues to "strike it rich". There's a particular personal injury lawyer in town ("Mike's got this!") in which "if you've been in a car accident" is followed by people saying "Mike got me $300,000" or whatever. These run every hour on the hour, so I get it where people think "Hey, I was in a car accident and I'm gonna call Mike!". Sadly, he isn't the only one in town who advertises (billboards especially).

When you get to the point where 'it's cheaper to settle", you have a problem.

And the woman who sued McDonalds about the coffee, I swear to God, who the f**k puts any hot drink between their legs. Had I been on the jury I would have pointed out that she would probably been the same person to sue because the coffee wasn't hot enough if it came to her lukewarm. Fuggin people in this country HAVE lost their collective minds.

The old 'lottery neck' , it used to be called here. If someone bumps you from behind, get out of the car holding your neck and there's a few grand for you. It's all about integrity and honesty. Do you want to make an honest or dishonest living?

So So right mate
 
IIRC the McDonalds coffee lawsuit was not about the outlet being held responsible
for the woman spilling coffee on herself. The problem was the coffee temperature was
waaay too hot, well above industry standards, which caused her serious injury burns to
some body parts you don't want seriously burned.
In that context it makes a bit more sense?

Not buying it Terry, I would not put hot coffee anywhere near my naughty bits unless it was in a Yeti and that's a big "if".
