26 Jan 08 Stella Awards

These are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S.

In third position this year:

Third place goes to Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania
because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113, 500
after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The
reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her
boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to
people being responsible for their own actions ?
