Yeah .. then it's the situations that deserve to win that don't even come close to winning what the person should have won because of all these other people who sue for such trivial shit.
My son rode his bike thru a business parking lot and rode off the edge and after invesgiating his story I was a little pissed and took the company to court. One..the parking lot was like an obstical illusion and you couldn't tell it dropped off unless you right up on the drop off by then I could understand he didn't have time to brake. Two..the other side was another business parking lot and in some places of the drop .. of course where my son went off at was as high as the hood of a car.

But I think the real jerker for me in which I took the company to court for was my son broke his collar bone in two places because of this and his friend and my son went into the place and asked if they could use the phone and the manager told them no. I called this manager and asked if this was so and the dumb ass admitted it and had nerve to tell me that if they needed to make a call he would have loaned them the money for a pay phone, that the phone was business puposes only. It was a liqour store. Now please.. come on .. I asked that man if someone would have been shot in the lot if he would have called 911 and he said yes ... I then asked him whats the diffrence someone bleeding on the outside and someone possibly bleeding on the inside, in which we are very lucky he wasn't, and he didn't have much of an answer thats when I made up my mind if my son didn't heal right and it lead to surgery I was going to sue. In which it did and which I did and we came out 2 thou shy of paying all medical expenses.

Now my son has a metal plate... 9 screws and a wire holding his collar bone in place.. lost out on football.. and who knows what problems it will bring in his future and the kid didn't even win enough to pay for the doctor bills let alone problems that may occure. Why? Because of all the people that sue for pitiful reasonings and we got drug thru the system and made to look bad. I think the company should have been held accountable for more of their responsibility in this because they had a stupid manager. My kid walked two blocks with his friend pushing their bikes to a gas station close by in which they called home and by the time I got their evidently the gas station felt it was serious enough because my son kept knodding off they called an ambulance that pulled in at the same time I did.

So now comanpies get off easier because of pickles and coffee.
