About 8 years ago, I cut my shin on a display rack in a downtown Detroit drugstore. I went to the ER, got 6 stitches and took my suit to the cleaners to get the blood out of it and get the rip in the fabric repaired. The next day, the store owner called and offered me $5000 if I would agree not to sue. I refused the money and told them I just wanted them to fix the display rack so nobody else would get hurt. It's amazing that the store owner (and my HR rep) asumed that I would take the $. Sad commentary on our litigious society...
