It was such a tragity that this event took place, but what is even worse is that by the time this is all said and done, insurer’s will have paid out $100’s of millions (further hurting our economy, there will still be families with lost loved ones, and still injured survivers with scars/disabilities that will last a lifetime. Everybody is hurt by this except the lawyers. The lawyers bank accounts are getting FATTER & FATTER!!!
This entire thing is a travesty. We’ve all made these comments before – it’s tragic that people died but most of the money is coming from people not at all responsible for their deaths. Nobody’s even sure this latest company made the foam that caught on fire, yet they’re shelling out (okay, their insurer is shelling out) $25M. Ludicrous.
Yup – we don’t care who made the foam or whether or not it was used properly. We will crush every foam company using legal hellfire until they pay up. Deep pocket targeting strategy always works!
The claim VP or other claims executive that approved this ex gratia payment should be fired. This is an insult to policyholders and investors whose money is being squandered in an unecessary panic. Considering it can’t be established the company even manufactured the insulation and the fact that it was used for other than intended purposes, and the mother-of-all facts that some idiot used pyrotechnics where they weren’t anticipated don’t warrant this kind of payment. Whatever insurance carrier that caved in on this just sent the wrong message to the plaintiff bar that will only encourage their antics on other non-meritorious claims.
Want to know why no one in the US develops new products or technologies and why Research & Development is no longer a priority? Want to know why we’ve gone from an industrial to an “information – service” society, and why so many other contries in the world competitive market are outdistancing the US? Look no further than our Courts….
What the heck, why not just include everyone in the country in this thing & make ’em pay? The claims people, owners of foam company and the attorneys all need to be sent to the middle of the ocean & sunk! One positive note though, when it’s all gone & the US has nothing else left, maybe these idiots will realize the damage they have done (ok, so maybe not).

I do believe this is the first set of comments where everyone, including myself, is in agreement! Way to go.

Well you can’t bring the lot of them into the ocean to sink because foam floats . . .
