Re: Odds are this will pass in most states
Krk,
I agree fully, however, the law is stupid. In terms of the law, you have to sue the store. The store hired the employee responsible for said section. The plantiff's lawyers in court will without a doubt argue he or she should have noticed and cleaned it up in a reasonable time frame. Obviously, there is a lot grey area here. Personally, I AGREE. Slip are falls are the CLASSIC B.S type lawsuits. People NEED TO AND SHOULD watch where they are going. Don't for one second believe i was defending this type of litigious crap. It's frivolous to the MAX. I was merely giving you an EXAMPLE of how the law seems to work. Obviously, this law sucks as will the law when it comes to suing over torrents. Instead of holding those responsible at fault, the law / entity always hits the one with the deep pockets. THAT, was my point. Sorry if it wasn't clear. |

Tulsa, OK | Ok, I understand what you're saying. It seemed you were advocating the employees should be sued, not the store.
Not a chance. The person who was the most at fault was the individual themselves. |

| Well in some ways I was IF and ONLY if it was pure negligence on the employees's part. If he saw the mess, walked by it, and did nothing and some idiot got hurt. It would be both the idiot and employees fault. However, the idiot won't sue the employee, he or she will sue the store with deep pockets. That is an isolated example. Most times, it goes back to the idiot not watching where he or she was going, and looking for a windfall. Then, ambulance chaser lawyer hits the store with a big lawsuit and the rest is history. |
