No. Wish I did. These things generally come over the news wires for use as "kickers" (Final humorous story on newscast) because of their apparent stupidity.
It's usually a situation where some jury makes a decision that is totally off the wall.
More to the point might be my other comment about someone slipping on my sidewalk.
ETA I remember a case within the past couple of years where a woman sued a (jewelry, I think) store because she tripped over a child and broke her ankle or leg or something while she was shopping in the store.
She won the case.
The kicker in this case is that it was HER child she tripped over.
A little closer to the situation at hand, that's a reason a lot of people won't have swimming pools in their yards. If someone sneaks over the 9 ft. high fence topped with concertina wire and drowns in their pool, they'll probably get sued.
