Actually, it happened all the time in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's and guess what? We picked ourselves up, brushed ourselves off, and went on our way.
We didn't expect a huge settlement because of a skinned knee. Now we do.
Darn those trial lawyers!
p.s. To all my reading-comprehension impaired compassionate FRiends, my comments have nothing to do with the child in question so please don't accuse me of being heartless. I am talking about the many times a kid slipped and fell or took a header out of a shopping cart and our parents didn't even think to visit a lawyer. Thanks in advance...GG
LOL. Until you need one.
But I agree. When I was three-ish, I once cut my fingers up while shopping with my mom. I found an open box of razors (the kind you place into the handle) on the floor. I took a razor out and played with it, using my thumb and index finger to bend it. Anyway, I soon began bleeding everywhere and my mother rushed me to the pharmacy, where they bandaged me. Once she knew I was okay, she spanked me and told me to never do that again!
You won't get an arguement out of me, GG...........
Accidents happen. Why does everyone want to assign blame?
