10. I worked a case many years ago
A 16-month-old kid fell out of a second story window on a college campus. The windows were floor-to-ceiling with a guard rail a couple of feet off the ground. For most college-age students, ample security to block a fall. Not so much for a 16-month-old visiting Dad, who was taking a summer course to keep up his teacher certification. There are now better barriers. I suspect Staples Center will learn a similarly expensive lesson, and if the boy was the offspring of wealthy or even well-to-do parents, the loss of projected lifetime income will be rather substantial, even by Hollywood standards.
