Once, back in my dark days in retail. It was a pretty brutal winter, and we chipped and salted a walkway through the ice to the door. Well, some woman decides she doesn't want to use it, goes across the ice, slips and smashes her hip. Eventually somebody comes into the store and says "Hey, there's some woman on the ground out there." He didn't check on her or anything, just came in. Obviously a shining example of human compassion. I go out to find this woman laying on the ground crying, so I call 911.

Cops responded within one minute, they instructed us to get her off the ice onto some cardboard. An ambulance came, carted her away. She ended up being fine, but she still sued the store. She actually lost the lawsuit, because there was a walkway cleared and marked, and her lawyer couldn't convince the jury that a 55 year old woman didn't know ice was slippery.
