The get rich quick scheme via tort is one of the things I hate about America.

There are definitely legit cases, but I get so tired of lawyers pretending there's nothing wrong with the system.

The shyster lawyers around here who advertise for the slip and fall types claim they can get you more than this for a fender bender.

500k in expert witnesses, it pays to be an expert witness.

They fought back against the growing notion in this country that businesses are somehow liable for every bad thing in the world and when something goes wrong, no matter how far beyond their control it is, they should be made to pay.

And they won.

I'm sure there are more like me.

I'm also sure there are many who will not darken their doors because of this.

But maybe they'll think twice before suing someone so swiftly when something goes wrong in the future.


What was their policy? If they declared a gin free zone and then refused to hire armed security, they made the patrons sitting ducks.

500k? Chicken shite money. They made that yesterday on the eleven cases of milk duds they sold.

What the hell is the point to sentencing someone to more than one life sentence?
What does it accomplish?
It's not a crime deterrent.
Are we setting a precedent so in the future when people can be resurrected by science, we can force them to serve out multiple life sentences?
What a dumb idea!
