Lawsuits have been here since the founding of our country, and will be around until we disappear.
Agreed, but there comes a point where it gets ridiculous. If I am a visitor in your house, and I get injured by the toilet, which you know tends to maul people unless you push the button just right, and if you made no effort to stop that from happening, then I think I am entitled to some compensation. But if I am robbing your house and I fall over your garden hose, surely you're not going to tell me that sueing you for my broken wrist is not frivolous!
