Have you ever known anyone to be sued for letting a game "get out of hand?" I mean, we see this discussed here all the time. Has anyone here ever known someone to be sued for something that happened on the floor?

I'm not for lollygagging based on what you're getting paid. However, if you're in a situation where you have to work several games in a row, you may need to take a few shortcuts in order to save yourself. But I'm tlking more like not switching on every foul or those types of things.
