In the US, a thief can break into your house, trip over a loose board, fall down the stairs and not only sue the homeowner, but actually win!
And to show you how the public thinks, there is a football season ticket holder at the University of Kentucky who has hearing problems and he is suing the university to put closed captioning of all announcements on the scoreboards and all monitors in the stadium.
Great country America! Live the dream, trip on a sidewalk and sue somebody!
