Yep. And don't forget the cap/container manufacturer too. Oh ,and don't forget to subpoena the in-store security video tape to see which customer opened the bottle to see if he can pay too. 
I agree with Mr Kernal . We can let the reader decide who's ego was enjoying a little early morning wringing out.
Sorry for your seats, but that's what insurance is for.

Why does it seem that my posts are picked out of the thread

BTW I don't consider my ego that large. Certainly not nearly the size of Mr. Prosecutor's.

I never put anything on my passenger seat if I have to pick something up. I have towels on the floor to protect my carpet and always put stuff on the floor. God blessed me with a level of analism that most people can't even appreciate.

I will prove you wrong again. I admit that I have been wrong before. I remember the time very clearly...
I was engaged in debate with someone and eventually came to believe that I was wrong. It turns out that I was not wrong. I made a mistake about being wrong. Geez...I sure did feel silly about that. We all make mistakes.

In no way can a reasonable, rational thinking person interpret this post as suggesting that the OP file a lawsuit. Sorry bud....nice try. This post was about the mechanics of a product liability suit and how one typically sues both the manufactuer and retailer....if they sue anyone at all.
Nice try. Honestly....you are really damaging your credibility here. Just admit that, contrary to your post I did not tell the OP to file a lawsuit, and also, admit that you spoke too soon when you told the OP that he would definitely lose a lawsuit if he filed one.
The record would support these admissions and you can stop struggling here.

Slightly off topic but following the thread.. prosecuter exchange.
You can be 100% right and still lose in court. Been there done that. You can be 100% wrong and still win.
Lots of variables in court. The outcome is quite often driven by emotion rather then facts.
Did the judge have a bad or good experience with a Vette owner or the establishment in question? Who's got the deepest pockets? (one of my personal favorites).
This said my advise based on experience is only go to court as a LAST resort. The only ones that win 100% of the time are the Lawyers.

My wife is a lawyer and this thread reminds me of some of our debates. What have I learned over the past 14 years- a lawyer never needs to win a debate, just talk enough until it hurts your ears , at least I won the "Honey I am going to buy a Corvette today" debate.
