In addition to the Ridiculous Lawsuit Poll, there were several other riduculous lawsuits listed at the Institute for Legal Reform website.  Here are some of them (for the complete list go here ):

• Wal-Mart was held liable by a Browad County Circuit Court jury in a lawsuit filed by an optometrist in the store's vision center, when the optometrist's assistant tried to kill him by pouring rat poison into his soda.
• A customer sued the restaurant, the police officer who went to calm the situation, the town of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and the chief of police, because the restaurant burned his steak.
• A West Virginia convenience store worker was awarded $2,699,000 in punitive damages after she injured her back opening a pickle jar.  She also received $130,066 in compensation and $170,000 for emotional distress.
• In another Florida Circuit Court, a tenant of an apartment complex sued her landlord after losing her car to a carjacking, claiming the security at the complex was lax.  The jury awarded her $15.7 Million, even though the written lease agreement she signed specifically provided that the property did not provide security.

No wonder asset protection is on everyone's mind.
