I just assumed it had to look innocuous because what mother wouldn't wonder why her kid's apple juice looked so hazy in that high ball glass.

And I was slamming the general "blame the parents" mantra that always seems to surface whenever anything like this happens, so no worries.

Almost all babies like beer.

Reminds me of a time when my oldest was still bottle feeding. We were out for dinner at a brewpub and we ran out of formula, and she was getting fussy... so, we gave her a little light beer mixed with water about 1/2 and 1/2. People were asking about how she liked her "apple juice". Wink

Wouldn't the attorney come to the $75K figure? She goes to the lawyer, explains her case, and he/she then sets the amount she's looking for?

I have a lawyer friend that got a few grand for a guy just for getting bit by a mosquito in CVS. That's crazy right there.

there's this one cashier at CVS that really annoys me.

How much do you think I could get for that?

Get 'em to post something online, and you could get 'em fined and/or jailed.

I didn't mean to sound like I was slamming parents. I didn't mean that at all. Since I wasn't there quite a few things just can't be known yet.

1. Was it in a restaurant glass or the child's personal cup?

2. Was it from a mix like someone suggested?

I understand the concerns of all involved. I just don't understand the $75,000 amount. Sure, the restaurant should pay the ER bill, without a doubt. But I hardly think it would amount to $75,000.

I am sorry if I made it seem like I felt this was more the mom's fault than anyone's because I definitely do not believe that. It's a very unfortunate mistake that could have had even more dire consequences. Thankfully, it didn't.

i always thought my sister is just paranoid, but she actually does taste whatever drink she orders for her son for precisely this possibility of a mix-up. she could have been some $75,000 richer by now, gotta talk some sense into her.

Ya just gotta know this lawsuit giddiness is in the U.S.
No wonder the premiums for insurance are so crazy there.

The course I just finished would call this opportunistic fraud.
