North Texas gal gets sued 2.5 million for buzzing some Oklahoma campers’ tent in a 300L with the smoke on.

Interesting list but all of those cases got dropped. I'd like to see the list of the most ridiculous lawsuits that have gone through. I seem to remember hearing one story about a guy who was awarded $150 million or something crazy like that because the dealer accidentally repainted his BMW.....(The $ ammount was later reduced.....)

I know about the heat part but I still say any dumb ass who puts a fast food style cup of hot liquid between their legs in a moving vehicle gets what's coming to them. If she had taken precautions such as a spill proof mug or something along those lines then I might see a case.

As far as the rest of the list, I think number 6 takes the prize. How the hell do you kill someone on a bike and then have the balls to sue for auto damages? That seems to take a certain amount of gall.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer sues for the hot coffee incident.

I had to go back and re-read it twice before I realized that it actually said what I thought it was saying.....

Probably my ex-employer for one....some people just think that they are above the rest of the world and can do as they please without consequences.
