Even Japan has entered the era of the multimillion dollar lawsuit, and none of my
insurance including personal liability, would cover such a thing, and if someone
hurt my child for life, I wouldn't hesitate to demand it, either. I am surprised
this person's friend can go years without paying for something that was
acknowledged as their fault, and only have 1.5 million yen. But then, no injuries
or deaths are said to be involved.
