There are some laws made that are really odd or old and still exist, here’s a great example that falls into the retarded category: the most that can be levied against a company in Massachusetts if found guilty of involuntary manslaughter is $1,000.
That’s a company! Not just you or me or Uncle Fred’s drunk driving, that’s a company. “Oops, I didn’t realize the the asbestos was still in the ceilings and killed everyone inside, here’s my $1,000.”
From the accident at the Big Dig tunnel last year, when Milena Del Valle, 39, was killed after 26 tons of concrete ceiling panels and hardware came crashing down as she and her husband drove through a tunnel. Her husband suffered minor injuries.
