I took several courses in college on business law. We heard some of the most outrageous cases and settlements that were won by the lamest circumstances. A burgular of a warehouse falls onto the floor from the skylight, breaks his leg and sues the company. $300,000 settlement. I was literally appalled at some of the cases we read. People know there is a loophole in our legal environment and they will do what it takes to benefit from it.

Simply ridiculous. If he would have been successful in robbing the place, he would have been in jail for awhile. Since he was unsuccessful and broke his leg, he gets $300,000...whoa. The jury must have been crooks themselves and sympathized with the guy.
What other appalling cases did ya hear?
