You say this as a virtue, and I get it. But this shouldn't even be a possibility.
A few problems I see:
1) Very few people take personally responsibility for their choices [kudos to you]
2) Someone always has to be at blame, there can't just be accidents
3) Scrupulous lawyers looking for paydays.
4) Local governments pay out somewhat easily for accidents [see NYC]
5) Tort reform is not popular due to lobbying.
- alistairSH 3y agoI get that, but there's definitely a time and place for lawsuits for negligent design. Like, a two story jungle gym probably shouldn't exist. But a "normal" shoulder height version? Sure, I have no problem with that. But I also let my son skateboard several miles across town to get to middle school, so I'm obviously crazy and a terrible parent. /s
