there are some real examples but there is also allot of misinformation out there not to mention that even if the headlines say "so and so wins 100 million" that doesn't mean they get that, almost every lawsuit ends up way down in appeals, sometimes so much so that you end up having to pay the lawyer out of your own pocket, the big numbers make the headlines, the small numbers dontemeraldrafael said:Well, there;s plenty of real examples, I just dont know them.Worgen said:actually that is a myth that started when states decided to have tort reform, Ive never found evidence of that actually happening and Ive looked, its one of those stories that is designed to foster distrust of the legal system and generally make it harder to sue, which is both good and bademeraldrafael said:snip

Well there are two stories my law teacher told. One is of a robber who won a court case against a family because he got trapped in there house while they were on vacation and had to eat dog food. The second is of a man who thought his Winnebago's (or some other brand) cruise control actually drove the car for him. Now they have to put that in the owners manual.Worgen said:actually that is a myth that started when states decided to have tort reform, Ive never found evidence of that actually happening and Ive looked, its one of those stories that is designed to foster distrust of the legal system and generally make it harder to sue, which is both good and bademeraldrafael said:That the American Legal system lets a robber sue the owners of a home if they slip and fall and hurt themselves, because there is no railing (they can sue enough to get bail, and yes, it can happen)
