    Oh please!! I guess if I fall in my bathroom getting ready for work, I can sue my employer. After all that’s part of what I do to get to work….. STUPID.

    so, in order for me to get to work safely, including driving my vehicle, i can claim workmans comp if involved in an accident that was not my fault. i was not provided a safe and secure mode to work.

    here’s another line: if it was a pothole he stepped in, where is the line of reasoning why did you not see it? did you drive your vehicle over it? this does sound bezaar! so, i can start claiming damages to my vehicle now to the city because my car is damaged everytime i drive through a pothole w/no other way around it. oh, i can walk around a pothole? liability – you see and can react! how many years has he worked for this company and used the same parking lot? how many times has he seen this pothole? sounds like a fishing trip to me!

    The problem here is that we have a railroad worker and everyone knows that they feel they are entitled to a retirement settlement because they got a hangnail at work. What are the top three difficult claimants to work with, I have always heard — Teachers, Preachers and Railroad workers. In addition to a stupid ruling from the court. Outcome based ruling. What ever happened to good old common sense.
