Once again, the politicians who complain about frivolous lawsuits should see the ones lawyers screen out. Here’s a recent question and my response.
Q. My friends and I recently ate at a restaurant and found numerous bugs in ALL of our to go cups. We had already drank from our cups and because a manager was not on duty, we simply notified the waitress and cook as well as took many pictures of the dead bugs floating in our cups. They did not charge us for our meal but should more be done to compensate us?
A. So what were your damages? Lawsuits about this sort of thing just mess things up for people who have serious injury cases.
