[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the best ways to avoid litigation is to treat people with decency and kindness whenever you can.

Why do you think so many fail at this, then?[/quote]

Huge number of reasons -- people fail at common etiquette all the time is the biggest one.  Second biggest one -- People get tangled up in "litigation avoidance" as meaning that they can't reach out and be human, as in here, which is preposterous.  The very rules of evidence are actually structured against the notion that post-tort apologies and the like -- sending flowers to an accident victim in the hospital, for instance -- could be used as evidence of liability -- the rules of evidence explicitly state that such actions cannot be used as evidence of liability.  Most people don't realize that such measures are harmless and encouraged by the law.  Third, when lawyers get involved, people begin to legalize every situation and start running common sense notions through a legal filter.  It saddens me that the notion of whether to reply to someone's goodbye email (Best of luck Larla!  Keep in touch!) is being run through a litigation meter.  That's crazy.[/quote]

+1 Thank you for verifying my common sense in human decency. [/quote]
