ChrisZer0 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 The problem is that its become waaaaay to easy to sue people without any consequences for the plantiff party. In canada for example, they've enacted laws to penalizing people who bring about ludicrous lawsuits. if they lose, they pay the all the costs for court time and legal fees. Thats one thing we need to start doing here, the threat of paying out for being stupid will lower cases on the docket,at least, on the local and state level.

FlyingScooter Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 ^in regards to that. I think the if they enacted penalties and made the plantiffs pay for them, the cost to go after that debt would not be cost effective. You go after those on Welfare, medicaid and the like, and it will be a cold day in hell before you get anything. the majority of suits in this country are by those who literally have NOTHING to lose. just my 2cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZer0 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 ^ scooter, im not talking in major states or national cases (vs big corporations or organizations) or legit CALs that have affected numerous people, im mainly referring to the majority of the penny ante cases that sit on dockets across this country(person vs person, person vs small business). In those cases, I think they should heard straight to arbitration and settle it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavslayer Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Did you hear about the guy who sued Busch Gardens because he got struck but lightning there? I dont think he was even on a ride. How ridiculous is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 ^ It's obviously Busch Gardens' fault for building a park where lightning could strike. That was very irresponsible. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 ^True, it could be argued that it is busch's fault. However, your honor, if the pilgrims hadn't wasted the indians after migrating from england, that ride and park never would've been built. so, Ipso-facto, it's englands fault.

Trev32 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 i'm going to sue all of you just for the hell of it. you want to know why americans sue so much? because were so money hungry and "let's not offend anybody" now. has anyone heard that sombody sued for spilling coffee on herself? now that's just being greedy. it's your own fault, dumbass. and actually flying scooter, i beleive that it is the sidewalks fault for him getting struck by lightning. if the sidewalk hadn't built itself there, the man would not have been there, would he?

ncf Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 That could be one of the reasons; some people are always trying find something to blame on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
