Outrageous Lawsuits
There are Americans who have absolutely no life except file stupid lawsuits against others for no good reason...
A San Diego man filed a $5.4 million lawsuit in March against the city of San Diego for the "emotional trauma" he suffered at an Elton John-Billy Joel concert, held at a municipal stadium. Bob Glaser said he was "extremely upset" at the sight of a woman in front of him using a urinal. In the suit, he claimed his rights to privacy were violated when he tried to use the restroom "in front of women in the men's bathroom." The women used the men's facilities because of long lines outside their restrooms.
A woman went into a Northridge discount department store to buy a blender. She decided to take the bottom box from a stack of four blenders from an upper shelf used to store extra stock. When she pulled out the bottom box, the rest of the boxes fell. She sued the store for not warning customers from taking stock from the upper shelf and for stacking the boxes so high. She claimed to sustain carpal tunnel syndrome and neck, shoulder, and back pain.
A drunk driver was speeding, careen passed detour signs, and crashed. He sued the engineering firm that designed the road, the contractor, four subcontractors, and state highway department property, which owned both sides of the road. Five years later, all of the defendants settled for $35,000. The engineering firm was swamped with over $200,000 in legal costs.
