Another Stupid Lawsuit

A guy who bought a used truck is suing every previous owner of the truck after an axle broke and caused a serious accident. One previous owner tried to have the case thrown out, but the judge said "no way." Wow. The guy owned the truck for a year before this. How ridiculous.

What's next? You sell a copy of The Catcher in the Rye at a garage sale to a guy who goes on to kill someone. Does that mean the person's family can sue you for selling the book? The outrageous nature of lawsuits in the county is getting out of hand.
