As an instructor, you are one accident away from being sued.
Whether you're right or wrong, that is irrelevant. The victim or the victim's family don't care, they simply want someone to 'pay' for the accident and our society has overwhelmingly let lawyers run away with this.
Remember when McDonalds got sued, successfully, because someone spilled their coffee on them? They sued because the coffee was too hot? You would think that if you are buying hot coffee, that it is hot and may burn you. Courts found in favor of the plaintiff. Plastic bags have warnings on them telling you not to put them over your head because of suffocation hazards! I can go on?
Quite a rant! :shocked2:

I say again; I am not living in fear of being sued!
