Well, you seem to have shifted from what should and ought to be done to what you might be able to roll the dice on and get some frivolous reward.
Anecdotal cases don't do much to support what the likely outcome would be. You hear about extreme results all the time, but there are far many more lawsuits that are filed and lost, or thown out before they even begin, than you realize. Winning a case isn't as easy, or cheap, as you might think.
Ask a lawyer... get rear ended and sprain your neck. You might think you are going to be rolling in money, but that is not the most likely outcome. The median result is probably to pay your bills and one to two thousand dollars, and thats it.
You are right Sulfuric Acid. There were some injuries, I overlooked, but very minor, which is how I overlooked them. Not thousands in damages here. Apparently the boy didn't even consider a chipped vertebrae a broken bone!
