You've hit the nail right on the proverbial head.
And nowhere is this more evident than right here in the US of
A.
After all, where else in the world can a smoker who's contracted
lung cancer from a lifetime of chain smoking, sue a tobacco company
for allegedly marketing a harmful product, and win?
Where else in the world can a driver sue a car manufacturer for
injuries sustained from his crashing the car that he was driving
while intoxicated and not wearing a seatbelt, and win?
Where else in the world can a patron at a fast food restaurant who
accidentally spilled a hot beverage on her lap and burned herself,
sue the fast food company for negligence, and win?
