Yep, and no cell phone video as proof (or evidence) either.
I vividly remember riding the school bus in the 11th grade and watching a full size pickup run a red light, and smash into the side of the bus right under where I was sitting. The pickup was smashed and totaled, the bus was dented a little. Not one cop or fireman asked if I needed a trip to the hospital, no one was "treated at the scene" except the pickup driver. No lawsuits, no big deal. It was just a crash. Just bad driving.
And that was in the 1970s, not the 50s.
Now the parents hire lawyers and figure it is free money to file a lawsuit for pain and suffering.
