Another reason to hate lawyers

[booster11373]

VIENNA (AFX) - A group of Austrian and German victims of the Asian tsunami disaster are to file a lawsuit demanding that Thailand, French hotel chain Accor (Paris: FR0000120404 - news) and US forecasters prove they reacted adequately to the disaster, their lawyers said.
The suit, naming Accor and the US-run tsunami early warning system in the Pacific as well as Thai authorities, will be filed in a New York district court this week, the lawyers said in Vienna.
'We found that serious lapses were committed,' said Herwig Hasslacher, one of the three lawyers for the group.

Now at this point the suit is not for money, but to uncover negligence, why not sue mother nature while there at it

And...?

If it'll help everyone develop a better system to watch out for these things, great. If that isn't possible, oh well, nothing went wrong in the first place. Where's the bad part?

The Tsunami took place in the Indian Ocean, not the Pacific. The NOAA-run system in the Pacific did pick up the earthquake that caused the tsunami, but there was no one to report it to as there was no governmental authority in charge of such a situation. How can there be negligence, especially by NOAA, in such a case? They are not responsible with monitoring the Indian Ocean.

If it's not for money, how's it going to hurt anything?

Trust me, it's about the money. They wouldn't be talking about going to the US courts if it wasn't.

i think the concern is blame. no one wants to see the US blamed for not acting fast enough, monetary reimbursement or not.
