not to roll over in the face of the Kaufman's and their questionable attorney . Once more you, DDW, miss the point. Win or lose, contributory negligence of the kaufman father or not, the mere fact that someone complains and gets an advocate is offensive to you, generically. You are judge, jury and trier of fact rolled into one. Its a matter of, as i said above, a social view point. Everyone should just and suck it up or be labeled a chronic money grubbing whiner. The nanny State against the rugged individualism that allows rapacious or negligent corporate conduct.I see this so often from guys who are the first in my office when their disability claims are rejected, the seat belt latch fails or their kid gets paralziled because on no warning signs in the shallow end of the pool--of course all their lives they were talking about some other group who hasn't 'paid their dues" or wasn't as smart as them. No one like to identify with the victim. Its just not macho.
