I don't know if you know "squat" or not, and you don't have to be in a courtroom to be "privvy" to "inside info" Anything that goes on in court is public info, check it out once. I haev testified in numerous homicide and death trials. You don't have to be a lwayer to smell bullshit. The idiot from McDonalds is the core case in frivilous lawsuits.
Wiki, as you probably know is not the place to look for accurate legal information, but her shit was public info just as the Ritter case is.
Lawsuits are out of hand. McDonalds, John Ritters greedy widow, you name it. That is not just my personal opinion, it is a well known reason that insurance is so high.
You have your opinion and I have mine, but nothing can take away the fact that McDonalds was a frivilous lawsuit, and lawsuits just like it are the reason we all pay more when we write our insurance checks.
It's true that lawsuits are out of control, but I completely disagree that this case was frivolous. I'm a legal assistant and have worked in the courtroom for over 30 years. Please don't forget McDonald's had the opportunity to settle this case numerous times and refused. This woman sued not just for the money but for the point to be made. McDonald's has deep pockets. Yet they steadfastly refused to deal with the over 700 complaints that they had received that their coffee was too hot. I normally enjoy your posts in particular. They seem well thought out and informative. I was stunned when I read this response. Having a bad day were you? You can't use this example to make your point. Find another. There are so friggin many it will make your head spin.
I cried for shoes .... til I met a man with no feet.
