Oh the Humanity

Posted by: emerson in Civil Law, Personal

There seems to be something real seriously fu**d up with me. Upon hearing of the tragedy at the Ultra, one of the first things I thought of was how the whole thing looked like legally: the standard of care that should have been exercise, the corresponding degree of negligence, liability corporate or individual, the possible payoff.

I am only beginning to realize that real people died. That this will leave a hole in the lives of families. That no compensation can fully make up for this loss.

    coincidentally, we’ve reached economic theory of torts in law&economics. there can be no perfect compensation when the harm involved is loss of life.
