I can’t believe the number of personal injury lawsuits and cases that constantly pop up in our society today. I think its a combination of 2 things:

1. People, for some reason, think that its okay to sue anyone and everyone for just about no reason.
2. Lawyers see an easy way to make money in personal injury cases, so they have no problem jumping on the bandwagon and not only filing one case, but actually building an entire practice around personal injury claims.

It seems that there are more and more absurd lawsuits popping up all the time. Check out The Stella Awards which were inspired by the McDonald’s coffee spill lawsuit if you’d like to read about more absurd lawsuits.
