Dumb Lawsuits

From MSN Canada:

Alberta has become the first province in Canada to enact legislation allowing children to sue their mothers for injuries suffered in the womb. But the law applies only to damage suffered in car accidents.

Does that sound awfully hard on the parents? Overlawyered casts it in a different light:

The idea isn’t really to foment legal strife between infants and their moms, but just to give the family a new way to tap its auto insurance policy, quite possibly with the support and connivance of the mother who will be the ostensibly adverse party in the case.

It’s a lawsuit you hope to lose.
