Negligence, which comprises over 90% contemporary Torts actions, goes through a cyclical process of expanding and narrowing of liability.

The Wacky Warnings website does a parody of this, demonstrating how fear of liability in the U.S. has lead to some absurd yet humourous attempts to produce common-sense warnings.

The annual Wacky Warning Label Contest has been conducted for over a decade, and his hosted by the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch (M-Law).

Law is Cool will be starting a series of posts on negligence within the coming months.
