10. How's this for Corporate Greed..
Case in Florida where an escalator ripped several fingers off a little girl's hand.

Facts at trial:

Dilliards knew they had an escalator nicknamed "meat grinder" and "crusher."

They knew they had set up a fake company, Dillard's Elevator and Escalator Co., to conduct their own state-required "inspections," and they used unlicensed workers to save money on repairs.

They knew they had failed to report dozens of accidents to the state. So many people got caught that Dillard's regularly gave them free shoes.

Yeah, we really need to pass some more "tort reform" so that even decisions this dumb are immune from lawsuits." They truly have no shame.
