It will result in bag your own.

I am very sorry that the woman died but I cannot blame WalMart for her death. She could have asked for more bags or taken her own bags. People are just looking for someone to sue or in some cases, just looking for their 15 minutes in front of the camera.

I don't stop at WalMart but even Sam's lets you take your stuff to your car in a basket. Couldn't she have done that if the bag was too heavy? Sam's doesn't even provide bags of any kind.

Bingo. There are so many factors to take into consideration. If a shelf fell in the store and killed her, then, yeah, liability. But, from the time of the injury to the time of death, there must be other elements involved.

[mylife]

Why have courts?
Why have the concept of liability?

[mylife]

There were other things involved bet surely the dead woman was not the one who was wholly culpable.

I am not a monkey, tough or not.
and as for required medical care...
It IS the same, the hangnail and a simple broken toe bone.

They both hurt, but they both can be adequately cared for at home, without involving expert medical professionals.

Yep, if the parasites can push it to that level.

Maybe the woman is a diabetic. Diabetics can lose a foot a leg or their life to a small infection on their foot. If she was a diabetic she probably knew the risk of a foot infection.

It is a phrase.
Don’t take it so hard.

If I called you a hard*** I am in no way referencing your posterior.

[mylife]

All that will come out in discovery.

Who could eat that LaChoy crap?

[Ditter]

My husband is diabetic and I won’t let him cut his own toenails anymore. He always did a terrible job and just whacked away bring blood. He now has to go to a podiatrist every 3 months to get them cut. I threw a fit until he agreed because I didn’t want this to happen to him. A diabetic friend of mine first lost half a foot and then she lost her life.

[ican'tbelieveit]

She took a calculated risk and suffered the consequences. You are on the wrong side of this one. Sorry.

[mylife]

I know.
I could happen.

[mylife]

She went to the farking store for dinner.

[mylife]

Well all I can say is I hope you never my a mower, start it up and have the blade fall off the new mower and chop your foot off because YOU failed to make sure the blade was on tight, when that was somebody elses job.

After all, it is your responsibility.

It was her time to go! The Lord called her home.
Surely you can see that!

(I know I know don’t call you Shirley :))

[citizen]

Yes, this. Her medical initial and subsequent treatment and her own home care for her injury is the question.

Of course I’m using logic, not ‘Greedy Lawyer/Plantiff 101’ speak.

[mylife]

Frankly, many find that attitude refreshing.

Don't call me Frank ☺
