The personal responsibility—product liability Gap

Tragically, according to this in The Salinas Californian, greed and personal injury lawyers (spit, spit) still run rampant across the golden state. Whew! For a brief moment there one might have believed they were either in hibernation or dying off. Apparently not!

Six months after a 19-year-old San Jose woman died from “huffing” in a Salinas residence, her parents are suing its owner – as well as the manufacturer and retailer of the aerosol dust remover she used.

And further on:

“You have kids out there abusing these products and putting themselves in harm’s ways,” (a lawyer for the parents) said.

Lets see now. A 19 year old “kid” (old enough to vote, drive and serve on a jury) in an “adult” residential recreational setting was negligently exposed to a dangerous chemical marketed as a household cleaning product because she chose to inhale large amounts of the product’s aerosol vapors while attempting to “get high”. After which she passed out and died. Oh, yeah! In my view, she’s a victim. ‘Someone’s’ gotta pay!

What a sad legacy for such a tragic young lady.

Maybe it’s all Bush’s fault? On another front, however, thankfully there’s still enough work going around for certain types of lawyers (spit, spit) to keep them off the ‘dole’.

Cheers

The Gap beyond weird and past bizarre

An account that a personal injury attorney (spit, spit), finding himself apparently dangerously infected with a rare and highly contagious respiratory disease, would travel overseas to keep wedding slash honeymoon plans seems odd.

Other news that an apparently dangerously infected (with a highly contagious rare respiratory disease) personal injury attorney (spit, spit), finding himself overseas and being warned to avoid long air flights, opted to travel by air instead to a really, really friendly neighboring country about the same distance away as his native land seems weird.

An account that a border control agent opted to ignore a grave warning popping up on his screen whilst an apparently dangerously infected (with a highly contagious rare respiratory disease) personal injury attorney (spit, spit) was crossing the border ‘twixt a neighboring really, really friendly country and his native land, thus waiving (or in this case was it ‘waving’?) through the medically barred individual, seems bizarre.

And now an item that the brand new father-in-law of a newly married (yes, that is redundant) apparently dangerously infected (with a highly contagious rare respiratory disease) personal injury attorney (spit, spit) is himself (the father-in-law, that is) a medical specialist in respiratory illnesses on the staff of a national medical organization that has been on the forefront of, or involved with, presenting information on most of the above stories to the public, seems just plain spooky.

If all this wasn’t so unbelievable, and if there hadn’t been too many personal injury attorneys (spit, spit) mentioned, or if any of these articles had been factual, a competent author would have provided links. As it is, for legal reasons these are merely ’story lines’.

Certainly none of them would actually ‘make it’ if pitched to the major networks as proposed movies or series. There is too wide a Gap in them between reality and possibility. Too far-fetched. So just have fun with it.

Next someone will try to tell us some foreign power may try to kill off a double agent somewhere by exposing the agent to dangerous radioactive materials. No way!
