She hired the lawyer because McDonald's wasn't willing to accept responsibility for their actions. Shouldn't there be a companion statement about corporations that aren't willing to take responsibility? If you remember the "Weed Wizard" product that was marketed about 10 years ago, that was a product that was flawed from its very inception. Attaching metal blades to a plastic mount that will spin at high rpms is a recipe for disaster. Having seen that account multiple times in the late 90's, I can tell you that that particular product caused 3 deaths that I know about. Its possible that there were other death claims filed after the last time I saw it.
Personally, I don't see how "personal responsibility" fits into any of this. Either you were harmed by someone or you weren't. If you weren't and you know it, you're committing fraud. The lawyers are just doing their jobs.
