Ralph Nader, a five-time Presidential hopeful, is finally opening the world’s very first tort museum. Interestingly enough, the museum promises to showcase an assortment of daily happenings that could go wrong in a person’s life, without actually bringing about a wrongful death or injury. The American Museum of Tort Law will open in Nader’s hometown of Winsted, Conn. and will be open to the public on Sept. 26, 2015.
A Long Work In Progress
Nader, a man of consistent effort, has had this museum in the works for the past 17 years. In fact, the New York Times did a piece on who would go to a tort museum in 1998 and many critics still have that same question today. Sure, a wrongful death lawyer in Provo, Utah would enjoy seeing the attractions the museum has to offer, but it may not appeal to the general public.
Who WIll Attend
Tom Stebbins of the Lawsuit Reform Alliance Group of New York joked that you couldn’t get school-aged children to attend the museum because they would first contact their lawyers and sue the bus driver on the way there and would never make it out of the parking lot.
Even residents of Winsted have lost interest in the museum, considering plans for the attraction began over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, it appears as though the museum has become more of a laughing matter than a reputable place for people—be they from Provo or any other American location—to learn about different types of torts.
Tort Exhibits to Look Forward to
The exhibits in the museum were designed by Eisterhold Associates, which also designed Jurassic Park Discovery Center in Orlando. In order to keep excitement alive and the public wondering, little information has been shared on what exactly will be shown in the museum. Sure, various wrongful death and injury situations are a guarantee, but beyond that, few things are known.
Although it may be difficult to attract the typical music visitor, Nader’s new tort museum may attract those interested in personal injury law or a young, up-and-coming lawyer in Provo or elsewhere.
