What a joke. What's next, someone blames a stop sign for an accident where they feel a stop light should be.Oracle Park design responsible for career-ending injury: Williamson | Ballpark Digest
The placement of bullpens in foul territory at Oracle Park directly led to a career-ending injury, according to a lawsuit filed by former Giant Mac Williamson.ballparkdigest.com
Liability and negligence at the forefront
There is some recent precedent on this...Reggie Bush knee injury at St. Louis football venue...Dustin Fowler leg injury at White Sox baseball venue
I’m with you that this and many suits are crazy. Many do get tossed and fee shifting exists in many places; take NI’s offer of judgment rule. the right to courts in our country is what separates us from many other countries. we value property rights unlike others. I agree that personal injury suits sometimes get out of hand; no denying that; but a lot of good comes from these things. I have seen gruesome injuries ruining careers because of bullpens in foul territory; is it really bad if owners pony up more cash to protect its product? If you want to talk class actions, should a company like a big bank rake in millions by skimming with horseshit charges? The answer is no. If we didn’t have class actions nobody would sue for $150 in damages; but group people together, the bank’s bad practices will stop. Or one individual’s suit against a car manufacturer for faulty breaks....a class action will get a manufacturer’s attention.
