The "suing"mentality stems from the whole "it's someone else's fault" crap. Almost no one accepts the responsibility for his or her own actions; it is always the fault of another.
Kid breaks in a house and beats up an elderly couple. It's the parents' fault because they weren't supportive enough.
Man leaves his wife and kids and shacks up with the local hussy. It's the wife's fault for not being sexy enough for him.
A college student is caught copying off of another student's test. It is the other student's fault because he did not cover up his test good enough.
A couple files for bankruptcy due to a huge amount of unsecured debt. It is the credit card companies' fault for giving them the credit cards.
From where I sit, all of that is nothing more than hogwash. Each person should be held accountable for their own actions, period. I will stand up and take whatever I get for my actions and I expect the same from everyone else. That's how I run this place... I am fair, but I hold each member responsible for their actions, be they good or bad.
There have been times I could have sued a company or individual but didn't. Unless the affront was grievous or negligent it would not serve a purpose. Accidents happen sometimes, often in spite of the best precautions taken.
