Honestly, IMO, the fact that people these days would even consider bringing legal action against anyone because they tripped and fell just makes me want to scream. It is so absurd.
Laws are meant to protect people from gross negligence. They were never intended to let every person who trips and falls get rich. If the court system wasn't completely bogged down with hundreds of thousands of people trying to get rich from falling down or spilling coffee, our legal system would actually work the way it was intended to ... to protect truly innocent victims of crime and to punish real criminals.
I find things like this infuriating, frankly.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
