A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her 
coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms.Carson had 
thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had 
just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the 
garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning.  
He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and 
garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and  
Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He 
subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. 
He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue 
mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.

Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical
expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's 
beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard.  The award 
was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a 
little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it 
repeatedly with a pellet gun.
