Only in America can you sue someone, and win, for injuries sustained due to an inherent risk. A jury awarded $2.86 million to a woman who burned herself with hot McDonald's coffee but shouldn't you expect that the coffee is hot?! While any venue is liable to protect its spectators, attendees should always assume some risks especially when attending a sporting event otherwise sit in the nosebleed sections. I sit in the Eagle's Nest for Capitals games at the Verizon Center and the only inherent danger is having to listen to the opposing team's fans burst your eardrums with their annoying banter. A true fan wouldn't sue the team. That's pure greed unless he could prove that the team had the Plexiglas negligently installed. Why couldn't he simply settle for an autographed Miller jersey if he's a fan? He's not, that's why.
Aneesa,
I am in complete agreement. Personal responsibility has long since left the building. If he was unaware that sitting rink side carries certain risks, then he has no one to blame but himself. Further, its not like the plexi moves fast. Could he have not moved out of the way?
Thank you for your comment.
