Ok, I see. Of course it is your good right to sue a company or person that did you harm and it should be possible to do so for the rich and poor alike. But the possibility to earn such big sums of money opens up a can of worms. People will sue you because if they win they are rich. It’s a bit like a lottery – in most cases you lose bit if you win, you win big time.
Personally I think that the responsibility of companies for its customers is taken much to far if you demand that they should protect you from every possible error you could possibly do with their products.
The sentence “He also testified that McDonald's had decided not to warn customers about the possibility of severe burns, even though most people wouldn't think it possible” really made me wonder. So what do most people think what will happen if they spill hot fluids over themselves?
Well, I think I will let the case rest. You know my feelings about this and I’m not on a crusade to make you feel the same way.
