Wow, just wow. The stupidity in your post is astounding.

After all, didn't a woman get a big reward from McDonald's once for being too stupid to realize that her coffee she just purchased was hot

It’s annoying that no matter how many times people are told the truth about the hot coffee case, they still insist on using it as an example of out of control legal system.
I’ll just give OP the benefit of the doubt that he’s trolling.

They now have to drive an additional 92 miles round trip to detour around the bridge... at the federal mileage rate (54.5 cents) their commute costs them an extra $50. If you work 20 days a month, this bridge closure costs you roughly $1,000 per month due entirely to the fault of tug boat operator not knowing how tall his barge was.

They aren't forced to work there.

Oh good back to this gem of an argument... so they should just have to quit their jobs and find a new one because of someone else's frick up.

That’s a stupid reply. You aren’t forced to drive a car, but if someone totals your vehicle they damn well are made to pay you for it.

Does this not happen literally daily? Anytime some dumbass driver has a wreck and takes out a guard rail closing the interstate to repair it there should be a class action law suit.

How you can't see the difference in these two things is astonishing.
The OT, were we all went to technical colleges, work in plants or on oil rigs, but are legal scholars

It rarely happens on this scale, repairing a guard rail closes maybe a lane of the interstate for a day or so and even so detouring around it doesnt require driving 90 extra miles everyday..... this is going to cost people thousands.

So basically the state will get a check for whatever insurance amount and the company gets off the hook completely? Additionally people and businesses that relied on that bridge are essentially told that they can go screw themselves according to the law?

Pretty much
Posted on 10/16/18 at 1:56 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
No I understand it perfectly... for some reason you have this ridiculous notion in your head people should be expected to just quit their jobs or pony up the thousands in increased transportation costs because a company was negligent in their actions and destroyed the bridge they depended on to get to work.

They don't depend on that bridge, that's the point. There's a difference between dependence and convenience
Posted on 10/16/18 at 2:00 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
When the alternative is to spend an extra $1000 per month getting to work, lots of people depend on it, saving $12,000 per year is more than just convenience for a lot of people.

There's numerous alternatives.

No they don't. It's just the most convenient option.

Good luck arguing that in a court of law

so who is going to pay this?

The tug company should have to, I realize they are shielded from having this liability though.
