Weird (and excessive) Litigation

I guess Greyhound will have to update it's job postings....

In January, the brother of one of the seven people killed in October when a deranged man attacked the driver of a Greyhound bus in Tennessee filed a lawsuit against Greyhound and the driver. Apparently, the brother believes that the company should have hired a driver who could safely drive 60 mph while fending off a knife-wielding psychopath (or else trained drivers better to do that).

They had a whole bunch of these mentioned on CHUM-FM last week or so

One lady sued a resturant after injuring her self trying to get out the bathroom window. Get this... she was trying to leave with out paying her tab. She won!

...a woman in houston won $375,000 after suing a furniture store for allowiing children to run around unsupervised. the woman tripped over one such demon, and severely sprained her ankle.


the fact that the child was HERS was , apparently, inconsequential in the final ruling.:confused:
