The Knuckleheads of the Day award

Today's winner is the law firm of Moreno, Becerra, Guerrero and Casillas of Montebello California. They have filed suit on behalf of the families of seven illegal immigrants who died in a botched smuggling attempt into the US. One of the people or companies being sued is Great Dane Trailers. Why? Read the following-

The lawsuits allege that Great Dane Trailers "manufactured and designed the trailer to be used without any warnings, safety precautions or human escape mechanisms. The design of the trailer allowed operators, occupants and/or passengers to be trapped inside the trailer and yet have no rescue hatch, pull string or other escape mechanism thus placing trapped occupants of the trailer in danger of suffocation or death. There were no warnings, instructions, decals or other means of warning of the dangers of transporting individuals inside the trailer nor where (sic) there safety switches within the trailer to allow escape in case of emergency."

Gee whiz I don't t hink the trailer was designed with the purpose of smuggling illegals into the country. So a truck needs a warning label?

This is just another example of lawsuit lunacy in this country. Greedy lawyers litigating against deep pocket defendants and the public turns up paying for it in higher costs in the end. For being greedy shysters, the firm of Moreno, Becerra, Guerrero and Casillas is today's Knuckleheads of the Day.
