Or maybe you'd in fact hire a lawyer but certainly not a lawyer with experience and a track record of representing injured people successfully.
If I am hit by a golf cart or an automobile and am injured, hospitalized, etc then yes, the person who hit me should be held responsible. Unfortunately, many believe if they are withing shouting distance of an accident then they should be able to collect as well... and there are lawyers who will help them try.

We don't know any of the pertinent details in this case to know whether the claim is legitimate or not. It really is a shame that the number of frivolous claims has made us skeptical.
