You Call This Justice? Story

Story title: You Call This Justice?

In the name of "Justice," some Americans have initiated strange and convoluted lawsuits. Consider the following:
   At a recent boxing match a fan drank too much, got into a fight, and ultimately fell down a flight of stairs. His family wanted "justice," so they hired a lawyer and sued. Included in their lawsuit was "Ticket Master," the company that sold the man the ticket to the boxing match.
    Then there was the man who bought a four seated plane. In order to rig the plane so he could fly it from the back seat, he removed the pilot's seat, along with all its safety equipment. The plane crashed and the man's family sued the company that designated and built it. The family won a million dollars, even though the man altered and deliberately misused the original equipment.

   In order case a young woman was injured when her fiance deliberately smashed into her go cart as they were finishing up their ride around the track. The court ruled that the young man who actually ran into the woman was 85 percent responsible, the young woman herself was 14 percent negligent, and the theme park was one percent involved. However, in the interest of "justice," the theme park was required to pay the entire cash judgment.
