We all have heard that the family of the poor gentleman who got trampled to death at the Wal-Mart store near NYC. Well, I have a little advice for the family and lawyers even tho I'm not a lawyer.
1. Sue every department/big chain store in the nation!
Wal-Mart did not create the atmosphere in which this tragedy occurred. That company has only followed what the competition had started. A lot of stores have/or offer so called "early bird" specials. I rememember stores offering anyone who entered the store additional discounts if they where there inbetween 5am and 7am.
2. Sue/go after anyone that bought anything immediately after the incident.
If they paid by check or credit card it would be easy to find them. These people are the ones who really created the mab mentality that day.
