I won't use an escalator any more.Â* Power went out once and I got
stuck on one for over an hour.Â* Terrible experience.


You should hire one of those lawyers who advertise on late night TV.
A few million might ease your trauma.


Hire the one suing McDonalds for the guy complaining about them cooking
their veggie burgers on the same grill they use for those made with
meat.

Or the one who helped the lady sue McDonald cause she spilled hot coffee
on her lap and burned herself.


At the very least you should believe by now that the woman had a
reasonable case and not one to be cited as without substantial merit.


No, she didn't. She didn't use common sense that placing a hot beverage
between her legs and removing a lid, even as a passenger, has risks. Her
clumsiness was her fault. I'm also skeptical of the son pulling over to
let her add he condiments. OF course the attorney will advise not to say
they were moving or case dismissed.


In courts here in Delaware if defendant is found against them blame is
apportioned. You do not sue for a dollar value but essentially for
damages. If it were determined that it was 90% her fault, as most here
would agree, she might recover 10% of the damages.
