The urban legend…
Recall the famous lawsuit that brought a windfall of millions to the individual who lifted up his Craftsman lawnmower by the edges to trim a hedge and suffered serious bodily injury. It was a clear case of greedy lawyers, a muddle-headed judge, and a bleeding heart jury. The case has become a cornerstone of movements to upend tort law. The one weakness in all this is that there was no multi-million dollar award or even a one dollar reward, because the case never happened. This modern fable or urban legend cannot be found in any court or insurance record, but it will doubtlessly be circulated for eons.
