Its good to see people are once again taking responsible for their own actions in this country.
Then again why would we when lawyers can earn us a hefty paycheck for whatever stupidity causes us injury or suffering.
I have seen a lawsuit by a theif injuring himself in a break-in attempt, by people who have burned thermselves on coffee, to people blaming their obesity on McDonald's.
For me, enough is enough!
Josh Hancock, a relief pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, died when his vehicle struck a tow truck at high speeds. It was later learned he had a blood alcohol content of twice the legal limit.
In the case of any other unfortunate soul, that would be that. But because there could be money to be made, the surviving family has sued the following:
The bar where Hancock had been drinking
The tow truck driver
The owner of the car being towed
Instead of placing blame on everyone else, why not place the blame squarely where it belongs: on Hancock's shoulders.
If you are man enough to drink heavily, you must be man enough to face the consequences.
How about wearing your seat belt?
How about not talking on the cell phone?
What about the marijuana in the car (which was recently rented)?
It's a tragedy, but even worse is how his family now is trying in cash in on their sons death.

I love how people find it so easy to judge someone who obvioulsy had a problem with alcohol addiction. Yeah, he screwed up the minute he got behind the wheel but there are laws in place to prevent restaurants/bars from serving someone who is intoxicated. If the place he was at knew he was intoxicated and they continued to serve him, they should share some responsibility.

Our country is a sad place for a host of reasons. And one of the biggest reasons it is is due to lawyers who will take any fool's money convincing them to sue for anything under the sun.
