Agreed, I think that the 'sue at the drop of a hat' culture is rediculous. Its silly things like 'the nitt nurse' at schools that get removed because some parent decided that a nurse looking through their kids hair is classed as 'abuse' therefor the schools no long used a nurse for this sort of thing. So now at least 2/3 times every school year we have to mess around sorting head lice, because the mentioned parent don't give a toss about their kids health, and so let them go to school with them.
And I know what you mean with the police too. The idiots that threaten to sue the police, just because they touched their arm whilst putting them into the back of the van.
It needs sorting. Stop people from taking legal action for silly things. It'll only take a couple of instances to be thrown out of court to stop these companies encouraging people.
I was horrified to see 'kiddy claims' on the tv the other week!
A kids park near my old home was taken down, because one of the 'idiot' neighbours sued the council after her kid fell from a swing and broke his arm.
...KIDS HAVE ACCIDENTS! After that my daughter had no where to play.....and neither did the kid that broke his arm.
