Man could sue the county for driving his car into a flooded creek
The incident began Sept. 12 when Ortiz was driving to work. His vehicle hit part of a washed-out road and then plunged into a creek...
Ferszt said the county should have closed the road during floods in September. He said the first responders were also included because they did not realize Ortiz was trapped in the car until they prepared to lift it out of the water... Since the accident, Ortiz has racked up $40,000 in medical bills and still has shoulder issues and trouble sleeping, including a recurring dream of shivering to death, Ferszt said. Whether a future lawsuit is filed will depend "on Roy's medical treatment and how that pans out," Ferszt said. Is this the common thing now in America?

Watching TV is hilariously fun anymore.
In any given hour of viewing, you're almost guaranteed to see a pharma commercial for some new designer drug with a laundry list of possibly fatal side effects followed IMMEDIATELY by a law firm commercial asking people to contact them if they died while taking some new designer drug... |

You can actually blame the national media for that one. That lawsuit was far from frivolous, but that is how the national media played it out, and thus why most Americans believe it to be so.
Did you know that the victim only sought to have her medical bills covered (around $45K)? It was the juries decision to award her $2 millions dollars, which was later reduced by the judge. When it was all said in done, she only received around $500K. |

It's a tough topic. You have to hit these large corporations with large enough amounts to be genuinely punitive. At the same time it becomes lottery ticket for every slime bag out there.

The best are those ambulance chaser ads offering to sue people who had complications from a robotic surgery, like those aren't much safer, and like surgery is normally free of a risk of complications.
