Judge dismisses lawsuit brought against RCCL
Ocean Boy replied to jamon's topic in Royal Caribbean International
So a plaintiff can basically file suit risk free while a defendant gets named in a suit and bears all the financial responsibility of a defense. Doesn't seem right somehow. -

How many thousands of dollars do you suppose is being spent so that a jury can tell us what most rational people already know? -

Your and my definition of "entire" seems to be different but that is fine. -

Of you re-read what I wrote I didn't say the system changed, I said opinion changed. Personally, I think all the lawyers with 800 numbers advertising on TV has a big role to play in today's perception of the system along with things you mentioned. -

I said nothing about the entire legal system. However, as it stands right now plantiffs' cost is nothing unless winning and the lawyers take their cut. The defendant has no choice but to pay the cost of their defense. -

My point is that officers of the court should never have let this gotten so far. If losing parties had to pay the expenses of the winning party this sort of stuff would not be happening. -

There is a question about safety of design? Here is my uneducated take on your statement.... Thousands of people have been going to sea every week for countless years on cruise ships yet it is beyond rare that a child is dropped, climbed, or somehow fallen out of a window located on the pool deck of a cruise ship. I'm not sure that I could manage to climb out of one of those windows even if I wanted to. This tells me that there is no design flaw at all. And for RCI to have to defend itself, at cost no less, against this travesty of a law suit is ludicrous especially when video exists to tell the story. An educated judge reinstated this case, educated attorneys took the case and you ponder as to why the American legal system is viewed as it is in this day and age. -

So why to you think that opinion about the legal system in the U.S. has changed so drastically? -

I am quite sure that if I were color blind I would still be able to determine if a window was open or closed.
