Damn Trial Lawyers

From the AP
Dillard's department stores must pay at least $9.4 million to a girl who lost three fingers when her hand got stuck in an escalator, a jury ruled Tuesday.

Attorneys for Kerriana Johnson, now 7, said Dillard's managers knew the escalator was dangerous and set up a sham company to make it appear to regulators that the escalators were being maintained.

Kerriana, who was 5 at the time, lost her fingers as he tried to free her stuck shoe from the escalator during a shopping trip with her mother and two siblings. Jurors learned that more than 80 people had gotten shoes or clothing caught in the down escalator at the Tyrone Square Mall store since 1998.
Don't you hate it when some stupid little girl exposes your sham safety operation?

We need to do something about all of these frivolous lawsuits. Hopefully Bush will address this issue during his State of the Union tonight.
