that's a good fantasy. but here's how I think it would play-out in reality: * your new window was $1800, so even with treble damages, it's still under $10k, which means it is a small claims issue. * sue AMZN (or some subcontractor/"third party") in small claims, they don't show up. you get a default judgement * good luck collecting. the moment you do, they start denying it on technical grounds. Oh you were a prime member in 2018, remember when you agreed to settle all disputes in mediation? well, we remember. * Go to mediation, they find that your neighbor is culpable for the accident, rules 100% against you. Or better yet, they refuse to engage with you because your neighbor won't agree to be bound by the arbitration.

Which is why you never join prime. And if you think damages are less than 10k from some kid getting hit in the head by a drone crashing through his/her window, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. In the US, healthcare alone is not that cheap. Finally, you suing AMZN is not how things work in the US. In the US, the relevant insurance companies work it out with each other. What I mean by that is, it is AmFam suing AMZN. And believe me, AmFam is gonna get every penny it's owed. You're the one living in fantasy land if you think homeowners sue liable parties for money in the US rather than filing claims with their home insurance company. If everyone just keeps that full coverage, it will work itself out. AMZN will be paying those claims. Or rather, AMZN's insurers will be paying those claims.

  > AmFam suing AMZN. And believe me, AmFam is gonna get every penny it's owed. More like amfam buys you a new window and raises your premium.

    That's why insurance is so profitable. Because AmFam does both! AmFam, State Farm, et al. suing AMZN for these claims nationally literally makes AmFam money over time. While costing AMZN money. That's what will move AMZN to either cease the practice, or design drones that are resilient to nearly any kind of attack.
