As a lawyer, I don't see suits like that. I hear lots of bureaucrats wringing their hands over fear of them, but I don't see anything really to fear. I think it's largely driven by insurance company audits of business practices, and often by irrational fear.

These suits seldom happen because they have such a low success rate. Plus, in Virginia, governmental entities often have at least some degree of immunity from suit.

The real problem is that kids just don't play in the street any more. But then, if they did, they'd probably get run over these days, by somebody texting while driving 50 mph in a residential zone.
