Yes, that is sad. And it's reasonable that if the facility was negligent they should paying the medical expenses. But life is a dangerous business, we have no expectation that we're never going to get hurt, and the pervasive and cancerous mentality that "somebody's gotta pay!" is nothing more than wanton vengeance, greed and opportunism. In most cases we'd all be a lot better off if Little Suzie's folks got a life instead of a lawyer.
