Maki Fresh sues Bayer Properties. Why? Not enough parking in the shopping center and faulty ventilation. This was the article in the most recent Birmingham Business Journal.
Now, I’m not here to debate whether or not this lawsuit is legitimate. Presumably, there is a lease agreement between the two parties, and the terms will control the outcome. Of course, one of the claims is recklessness which is outside the contract, but that’s besides the point.
No, I’m writing because no one seems to care that attorneys filed this lawsuit. No one cares that this lawsuit is clogging up the court system. And, no one cares that this case is in court and not in arbitration. The attorneys in this case are legitimate litigators fighting for justice.
Maki Fresh needs more parking, but how? How can this be accomplished? Will Bayer Properties build more parking space? Not unless they can build a deck which is highly unlikely. No, in the end, this case will be like most civil cases. It will be about money. The big green. Some cheese. Some scratch. Moolah. Greenbacks. Dough. ____________ Insert your money favorite.
But, this case does not involve an injury. Someone is not paralyzed. They haven’t lost a limb. And, they aren’t dead. However, this case is legitimate, and the personal injury cases? Those are frivolous, at least according to what we hear day after day.
Next time you see one of these lawsuits in the news, think about it. Raise questions. What do you think? Is there a difference?
