Thread: Switch hitters need not apply.

Just remember for every successful lawsuit there is another warning label.

You know the type:

Warning not for use while in the bathtub/shower ( actually on toaster boxes)

Warning not for internal consumption ( on any external cremes like Preparation H )

Warning HOT ( any coffee cup coming out of a drive through window )

Imho one thing that makes the law system bit different there in U.S is that there it is possible to ask and get money - a lot of money - for emotional distress in no-crime cases like this. So why wouldn't people (and their lawyers) take advantage of it?
Is it lawyers, victim or judge that decides what is the real value of emotional distress (= someone feels bad or hurts his mind) and how does money compensate it?
