–Mrs. Morton is skateboarding
along the sidewalk in her hometown of Worthington, trying to keep up with
her five-year-old, who is just learning to ride his bike. She hits a
crack, falls, and sprains her ankle. She then brings suit against the city
of Worthington, charging negligence and asking for $50,000 in lost wages,
pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. The city attorney of
Worthington, Marian Lowe, is unclear how Mrs. Morton’s injury resulted in
lost wages, as she is a secretary whose work does not require the use of
her ankle; and Lowe is really not sure what the injury has to do with
consortium. At the same time, she knows that litigating the case will cost
the city at $10,000 to $20,000, and if the city loses, that money will
come on top of the $50,000 award.

–Citizens for a Green Laforge have organized to
protest the city of Laforge’s decision to develop a parcel of farmland as a new
condo village. Laforge has required the developer to submit an environmental
impact report (EIR), which has been duly completed to the satisfaction of the
City Planning Department and the state Natural Resources Agency. But the
citizens’ group is not happy with this outcome and sues the city in an effort
to delay the planned project. The city can commission a new EIR at a cost of
$250,000 or fight the suit at a cost of $180,000-and possibly still have to
order a new EIR or ditch the project all together.

-Officers Jim Greer and Eric
Manning of the Anytown Police Department are called to the scene of a
fight. They identify themselves to the combatants and order them to stop.
One man does as they request, but the other, Alan Comden, continues to
advance on his now-unresisting adversary. Officer Manning fires his Taser
at Comden, and Comden falls forward, his face hitting the asphalt. Comden
loses four teeth, lacerates his lip, and sues the Anytown Police Department
for excessive use of force. The city councilmembers believe that Manning
followed Taser protocol correctly, but they also know that it will cost
them more to defend against the suit than to come to a settlement with
Comden.
