Took me months to realise the backrest settings on my new office chair were ajustable, but then i was not paying attention during the mandated lesson on how to use the chair safely. dangerous thing, chairs.

Not so long as they win on net…. and in this particular case.

Talk about irony! I support cases that actually have merit, so having a flagrant suit happen to a firm like this might actually get some of them to smarten up about some of the nonsense cases that they take on these days…

This sort of things works a lot better when you’re trying to convince judges about topics where they have less familiarity. They are familiar with office furniture, so they are skeptical that it’s particularly dangerous, comfortable with the level of risk involved in using it, and unsympathetic to the idea that they should be exposed to liability for anybody who swings by their home or office for a sit and chat.
