Can I Sue For This?

It seems that today people can sue anybody for anything at anytime. Have you taken the time to see what people are suing over? Let me just share a few with you.

First we have the infamous female that managed to spill McDonald's coffee into her lap when pulling out into the road. She sued because the coffee was hot and no where on the cup or lid did it say the contents would be hot.

Then we have another woman who sues a furniture store because while in the store she tripped over a child and broke her ankle. Want to know the kicker on this one, it was her own child.

You know how people joke about using cruise control in their vehicle, where they think they could just set it and let the vehicle drive itself, well one woman thought this was possible while driving her RV she set the cruise control then got up and went into the back to make herself a sandwich. Needless to say the RV veered off road and went sideways into a ditch. She was awarded several million dollars because cruise control was not appropriately explained in the instruction booklet. As a side note, the RV company has rewrote the instruction book.

This one folks will take the cake. A police officer responds to a drowning involving a child. When the officer arrives, the family has already pulled the child out of the water and moved into the home to warm the child up. But there is water on the tile floor in the kitchen and when the officer comes rushing in she slides on the water, and hits the ground knee first, which shattered her knee cap. She sues because workman's comp can only cover so much but she needs more surgery. I don't believe you should be able to sue when you were doing your job, and became careless and hurt yourself. Not only that, though the child did survive, he is brain dead, and the family has spent every penny on this child and they will forever have this tragedy in their memories.

Doesn't this just make you sick? What's worse, is except for the police officer, who dropped the case after being abused by everyone in her local media, these people won their suits. Also saddening is there are lawyers to take the case, a judge who allows the case to proceed, and twelve members of the jury that all side with these individuals who in my opinion are absolutely out of their minds for even thinking that they have been wronged and our owed for their stupidity.

So I ask, can I sue all of these people because I find them completely stupid?

One more thing I would like to point out here, did you notice these stories all involved women? That's all I'm saying.
