Terri Skiles suing Diverite?

[FW]

if you didn't have the ability to take manufacturers to court you'd have fuel tanks that exploded in low speed collisions, thalidomide in vaccines, toys that can choke your kids, SUV's that are rollover prone, Toyota's with runaway acceleration, Vioxx that caused heart attacks, Fentanyl pain patches that cause overdoses. I could go on. Let justice work it's course. Whoever prevails will have done so because their qualified experts will have persuaded an impartial jury that their version of the facts is more likely than not. It is in no one's interest, certainly not those of you choosing to put your life on the line in relying on a rebreather to limit the consumers access to the courts. The system works, it isn't broken and it doesn't need fixing IMHO.

You must be a lawyer

Hmmm, maybe, maybe not. The jury doesn't understand the technical jargon they are hearing, and have to base their judgement on the presentations of plaintiff, and defense attorneys.

You would be surprised as to what jurors understand though you do have to be careful when presenting technical information to them. Each side will likely have very qualified experts testifying so whatever the outcome it will not be because the jurors were uninformed.

...and a cave diver!

Oh, I never understood the system is my problem... I was always under the impression that juries were made up of people.

And people are idiots.

Or he is the guys who sued McDonalds for selling him hot coffee... or the lady who dried her dog in the microwave (if those stories are actually true) and sued the manufacturer of the microwave.

I think Rule #6 prevents me from voicing my VERY strong opinion on this sentence.

#3 and #7, too.

Thank you for letting me share a different perspective without being trashed or subject to foul language. Ill remember not to call you names when I find myself disagreeing with you. Ain't America a wonderful place?

Bring it on! The coffee in question was boiling hot. McDonald's was certainly big enough to have defended themselves. They lost and for a reason. The lady who dried her dog in the microwave didn't get a dime. Now you want to talk about all the little guys who lost trying to take on big money?

Even if diverite wins this, diverite will have to pay a ton of money, right? How is that fair, if somebody can sue you and bankrupt you, even if you win and you didn't do anything wrong?

Now I know why you call yourself "bent".
