Not to be disrespectful or get off topic but why on Earth would anyone lean on a trash can? Or eat on one or plop their kids on one ! Ewwe
Just my 2 cents.

I took a small jump off of the last step of the bus while holding my then six year old sleeping son in my arms.
It was pouring rain out, and I was making an attempt to dash him to shelter.
My feet gave out from under me like I was on ice, and I scraped the heck out of both knees and in particular my left forearm which cradled my son.
The painted section of the bus stop and my Vans sneakers created a surface I could have hydroplaned across.
And this is coming from a relatively sure footed guy who's in good physical shape and still skateboards at 52 year old now. (44 then.)
I didn't even seek first aid.

The trash can is my favorite table during Food & Wine, so much so that I bought the 20th anniversary edition trash can salt & pepper shakers.

My mom fell off the curb at Magic Kingdom. We still laugh about it to this day. slow motion fall. The only thing I would have sued for would have been access to the video. Even she laughs about it. In life things happen. You dont need to sue someone for missing a step.

My daughter took a hard hit on the barrel bridge on TSI when some monkeys started jumping. Scraped up bleeding knees and scratch on her face. Went to first aid for a couple bandages and back out for fun. Worse yet, I woke up on our first morning staying OKW and had something in my eye. Went to first aid in MK and had it looked at after a couple hours because I could not take the pain and irritation. They sent me off site to have it checked and it ended up being a piece of glass embedded in my cornea. The glass has to be in the comforter from the previous guest since we did not break anything and really just got in the room. I had to wear an eye patch for a couple days and go back to get it checked. We lost a lot of WDW time and it cost me a few Dr visit copays and I never asked for anything except to have a late checkout on the last day since my family was going to wait in the room until I returned from the last Dr visit. BTW, they would not grant me the late checkout and handed me a business card from their legal department. 
Sometimes I hate this world.

As much as I agree with you, businesses are partly to blame. Many will settle out of court, just to avoid the marketing nightmare. There are many times that DH and I wish that the companies would stand up to the system, but it cost too much for them to do that, I guess.

You might not have to hold your breath all that long. They have already disappeared at the town center hub, from the Fire Station all the way around to Tony's. I'm sure it is a matter of time before they disappear up mainstreet too.

They often do get thrown out, and lawyers can be penalized for bringing frivolous suits. Part of the problem is that the media goes crazy and turns every ridiculous, cockamamie lawsuit into front page news (remember the fat kids suing McDonalds?), but then fails to report it when those cases get tossed out (as the McDonalds "obesity" lawsuits all did). As a result, the public perception of the number of crazy lawsuits, and the longevity or success of those lawsuits, is hugely inflated.

too bad it wasn't Donald. you'd be awarded millions & compensation for 1 very good dry cleaner.I was sat waiting for the 3pm parade when some ducks flying overhead left their calling card - can I sue Disney as they didn't warn me of the dangers or put in place anything to protect me. And yes, I'd recognise the duck again
Because I was a tad tired... and Disney's trash cans are probably some of the cleanest. Or they used to be, until the cutbacks....

I took a nasty spill on the bridge from Liberty Square to Main Street a few years ago. It had rained earlier in the day and I slipped once and righted myself only to slip a few feet later and go down. I ended up with a sprained ankle and a busted up toe (not broken but bleeding). I guess I should have sued Disney for the fact that 1. it rained, 2. their bridge was wet and 3. I was wearing flip flops that I had bought AT WDW.

Man, you all really need to learn how to walk, jump, step off a curb, drive your ECVs, etc.

My friend was on rnrc last night and bumped his head really hard. He suffered a severe headache all night. He is going to sue even though there are signs that are posted about the ride. Lol jk though he did bump his head

That would be sad. It is even sadder that it really is almost needed when crowds get so dense. I know I've tripped on the curb.

A few years ago I had an ash from a firework drop on my head in Epcot, catching my hair (what little there is left of it!) on fire. I never even thought about suing, but Disney Legal contacted me, asked about the incident, and offered up some cash to make it right. This was a case where I didn't do anything wrong, but I didn't think Disney did anything wrong, either.
