To sue or not to sue - that is the problem!

I think people are sue happy and also negligent. Many companies are all about making money and not making sure what ever they are selling or services they are offering are safe. On the other hand some people are just after a quick buck and will try to find any reason to sue. As for the little boy a lot of people are scared of their lives getting ruined bt someone misinturpeting them just helping him

I think so many of them are absolutely ridiculous. You only have to watch some of the TV shows, Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown etc.

I am not sure if this is an example but when we used to go out years ago and you saw a little one cry , you could stop them and ask where mummy was and see if you can help , now my hubby says if this were to happen and it was a little girl he would have to go look for a woman to help the child , he would be worried he would be classed as a pervert, don't get me wrong I KNOW THERE ARE PERVERTS out there but we just cant do what comes natural to us any more xx

The world has gone sue crazy! People just won't take responsibility for their actions, people actually thrive on being able to sue people or businesses for the most stupid reasons and it's becoming beggar's belief at the type of cases coming to court because someone is using the system to get money. It's gone way out of proportion and it sickens me that on some TV channels nearly every commercial is about suing for accidents etc... This never happened in the 60s, 70s or 80s so why has it become such high profile, this world get madder by the day

Hi I agree with you 100% on this one! Society has gone mad with the suing lark, though some cases I do believe warrent it! Like uncovered drain holes in the side of the road that should be covered over to prevent an accident. We had one lady in our local area that could not walk very well in the first place crossing over a road to get to the postoffice and got her foot down that uncovered drain hole, which made her fall and sever her leg in several places, this lady as a consiquece had a heart attack at the shock and is no longer with us! So her sons wrote up to the papers and are now suing the local council responsible. Where that little 5 year old is concerned, they should beable to help him without being took to court or something.. That poor kid! What must he be thinking! Lynn-Marie But most cases I think suing should not be even considered!

hi! well my father is a lawyer and i have seen many cases of him...his clients asking help for him what to do and my dad tell them not to sue if it can be solved by good talkings but if its really a big problem then that's the time that he will tell them to sue...

It has gone way toooooo far! We dont have the same as you guys in the USA, but we are slowly getting there!"!! Everyday on the TV is an advert on who to contact if you want to sue someone. Jesus Leave it alone!! Lets get back to being a sane world again, is that possible?

I have always thought that sueing had gone to far it is so rediculous in some since of the things they think up to sue about like the woman that got coffee fro mc donalds? she spilt it you know she kew it was hot! come on ya get coffee its hot

well the name of the game nowadays is to sue .everyone everywhere tend to sue anyone for the smallest mistakes commited and it is indeed getting sickening.thoses companies which really need to be sued can and should be done so.there are so many companies who work so hard to satisfy the customers but yet the customers tend to find a fault in some small thing which is not really important and start sueing away like mad.i was and still am lucky enough not to get caught in any of these controversies.this attitude of ought to change according to me.

Sigh, a tool to protect the rich, is now being used against them in a very unorthodox way. Laws and agreements in a period of time, was what made successful people in areas of trading and businesses. They have made these agreements and trades very successful because of the protection given by law. Now, everyone is using law as an excuse to settle issues. People say that once the law is involved, no one is going to escape unscathed. Its a 2 sided blade that cuts both sides. I think the situation where law is used is to many, too many case laws, too many people rely on laws. Although law is now a sword usable by many people, people fail to realize one thing. Its the hand that uses the sword that counts. Poor people can never win against rich people. Rich people created this sword. You think that without any strong muscles, you can use it. Any case going on for 1 month is already a big hole in anyones pockets except the rich. To all poor people, I don't actually believe that poor people can win any laws case 100%. If you are suing for money, think other wise. The only people you will make rich is the 2 lawyers involved.

Normally, people sue because they have a serious ego problem. If not then, then for the money. Otherwise, it would be a legitimate reason. I think the courts should set a good example by throwing out those absurd cases. :P

Of course it has! The same with disciplining children, sometimes it needs to be done.

they need to stop allowing some of these frivoulous suits to even get to court stage.when i read the news every day,i can't help but shake my head at the stupidity of some of them.you can tell they're only doing it for the $. but you're right-nowadays,even the slightest thing can lead to a lawsuit with the right people.that's gonna hinder society soon if it hasn't already.

People are very sue happy. The problem with all the sueing, is when some who has a real reason to do so, it is very hard to do because of all the fraudlent sueing. I myself got hurt at work several years ago. It was a pretty bad incident. I was going for months on short-term dissability as I was going through therapy, and at no time did I even think to sue. That is until my job said I should have been better by now, and stopped paying dissability coverage, and I was no where near healed. I fianlly talked to a lawyer when I only had a month left to make a claim. I needed two spinal reconstruction surgeries and 4 years of therapy before I was even close to normal and still ended up 80% dissabled for life. Through the whole time, I was in and out of court, jumping through hoops for the court system to prove that I was infact injured. For a long time I had people from the companys insurance company camped out outside my house with cameras waiting for me to do something that would show I wasn't hurt. The courts are so backed up with fraud cases, people who truley need to sue have to deal with stuff they shouldn't have too. Robert www.rsilva708.com

Yes it has and still is going to far People are scared now to be sued for everything as it is so easy now to be sued

Oh yes sure somethings have gone to far, but like a couple of years ago now I should of sued when I came off my bike at that time but I did not due to it was the council not repairing the road in the right way, and you know what happened the first road to get done correctly after my fall was where I fell you see they knew something was wrong wit the road.

Yes i have heard of that thing and i beleive that happens in westernized countries. I even heard that children can even sue their parents! that's why im having second thoughts of considering my plan of migrating in westernized countries someday for fear that when my daughter gets accustomed to their culture- she might sue me for God knows what someday... That's why i think more and more people wanna get into law because some people make such a big fuzz out of it- in hopes of getting moral damage cash settlement or something-mostly money out of it... I think the people who are into the law business should at least set some boundaries or inform these people what are the factors to really consider before sueing others. However, i dont think they would do that because if they did- then that would mean a decrease in the number of cases that theyre gonna get...so this means less income opportunity. But I still hope that someday, some responsible, honest law people would be kind enough to inform the people, set boundaries, make criterias- of when it is right to sue...
