In the U.S., the loser does pay the winner's cost, just not the attorney fees (unless there's a statute or contract providing for fees).

The problem here is that the plaintiff is going to win ... probably a couple of grand. It's his trying to leapfrog over his hospital bills into the statosphere that is so offensive.

Anybody stupid enough to eat at Rotten Ronnies should not be allowed to sue.

A friend of mine is an attorney who defended McD's in a trip-and-fall case. He told me this story:

Plaintiff claimed that, as she and her boyfriend were leaving on a three-week vacation, they stopped by the local McD where she tripped in a pot hole in the parking lot, breaking her ankle.

My friend took the boyfriend's depositon:

Q: Did you tell the manager about the fall?
A: No. We lived just around the corner, so I took my girlfriend home where we called the ambulance.
Q: You live on the second floor. How'd she get up to your apartment on a broken ankle?
A: I carried her.
Q: If you were carrying her, how'd you get your suitcases back up to the apartment?
A: Oh, we didn't take any suitcases.
Q: If you had her in your arms, how'd you unlock the front door?
A: We'd left it unlocked.

So? You think the jury believed him?

You almost expect the guy to say at any moment, "Look, we don't want to make a big fuss about it, and who was carrying whom, we just want the money.."

I just remembered something that happened at a different fastfood restaurant. An elderly lady tripped on the curb, fell and cut her head up pretty bad. Me and a couple other people ran out to help her. All we could do is put a lot of napkins on the wound and apply pressure. The manager came out to do damage control. He was way more concerned about his restaraunt than he was the lady. I remember being disgusted by him. I suppose he was doing his job. That's what he had to do in this day in age. But this was a case where a lady really was hurt, and I was disturbed by it.

Unfortunate for the lady-- I hope she was all right-- and it sounds like the manager was an asshat or callous.

Tripping on a curb though would not be the restaurants fault (unless there was something unusual about the curb)
