It's a sign of the times. If someone walks around back of their truck and slams their leg into the trailer ball they forgot was there it's an accident and they whine for a couple days about the bruise. If the truck is being auctioned then they figure in some way the auction company should pay for a doctor to look at their leg and compensate them for not being able to feed the hogs as easily the next day--well maybe week as they want to be good and healed. What's the problem the auction company makes plenty of money and they're insured right?
Seriously, I believe it's not just the fear of having that person sue for some made up permanent damage but instead the reality that there are a lot of people that figure in such a situation there is no harm requesting medical care and payments they would never have requested if they had to pay for it themselves.
I have to wonder too if the auction company making such statements kinda raises the bar in people's minds too. As this company warned them they start expecting others to warn them as well and if they don't they must be negligent if something happens. Kinda like, if you can fit 30 airbags in a car and make it safer than with just 2 then aren't you kinda required to do it? Some people think so--especially if they lost a loved one in a car with only 2.
