I think it would only take a couple of these lawsuits to be filed around the country. Make the filings very public. Then businesses will suddenly wake up to the reality that they are seriously liable for real dollar losses. As a restaurant owner myself, I understand the enormous cost of defending myself against normal lawsuits. It is usually far less costly for me to find a way to settle or arbitrate rather than actually go to court. Even if I believed I had an iron-clad defense, Counsel advises against taking a chance in a court room where a jury can never be predicted. I know I would quickly modify policies and procedures to avoid exposure to this type of suit. I believe most corporate-run businesses would, too.
