People sue when they have no insurance and need to come up with $10,000 to pay medical expenses, (or more) Or in the event they have a high deductible, and can't or don't want to pay it.

1) People often sue because they see an injury as a free payday.

2) Even if someone sued because they didn't have insurance, it's still ridiculous. If your kid breaks a bone playing at my house, and you don't have insurance, that's your own damn fault (assuming I didn't cause the broken bone by pushing your kid out of a tree or something). I don't care if my homeowners insurance pays for it, I would still be furious. It's YOUR responsibility to get health insurance for your child and YOUR responsibility to pay the bills when they get hurt.

No, it's a reason in favor of "event" parties. Kids can get hurt anywhere, but at least when it's somewhere other than your house, the medical expenses are between the other parent and the business.

I'm sorry, but at every home b-day I've ever hosted or that my kids have attended NEVER did anyone break a bone.

My friend had a water slide blow up thing at her house. A kid broke his leg. The parents sued her for 10,000 thankfully home owners insurance took care of it.

Did the lawsuit effect your friendship

"Effect" as in to bring about or cause something to happen? I doubt seriously that the accident effected their friendship.
