but i "heard" someone was trying to break into a persons house and rob them and the robber got injured on there property and sued the guys who owned the house
Man, there are countless stories like that. Also a girl who snuck through a backroom window to avoid a cover charge, fell, broke her front teeth, and sued. Club paid her medical expenses and "punitive damages" ($$$)
An old man just bought an RV, and thought cruise control = auto-pilot. So he turned it on and relaxed. Well, he won the lawsuit because the RV manual didn't clarify well-enough. Sued for punitive damages, med expenses, AND a new RV.
Some bitch sued a restaurant because she slipped on a soda and hurt her knee. Well, she threw the soda at her boyfriend during a fight a couple minutes earlier. She got $$.
Another bitch sued a grocery store because she tripped over a child and injured herself. It was her child. She got $$.
I have more info on these buried in my email somewhere, including public case #s. I'll see if I can find 'em.
But, these are more frivolous lawsuits, rather than immoral. But if you're an "Easy money" asshole and you don't mind trashing other people's lives, American judges will insure a comfortable retiremend fund for you.
Basically you can live your life being a complete dip shit, and if something happens to you, it's the fault of the smarter people for thinking over your head. And the worst thing about it is these lameass self-righteous judges will almost always rule in favor of the business... because we all know that running a business is easy and business-owners should be punished for the stupidity of others. Several of the stories in that email I have resulted in the business shutting down. I think it was called the "10 most ridiculous lawsuits of 2003"
