    New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)

    And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.

          Or the story about a lawsuit that only makes sense when you reframe it as a florida man headline in your mind

              Frivolous lawsuits are mostly a fake thing McDonald’s convinced the public of so they wouldn’t have to pay medical bill for someone after serving coffee that was way too hot. The reason for most big payouts for injuries is because the medical system is broken.
