Yep... fire codes here require deadbolts to be open-able from the inside with out a key.

Quote: Yeah, if I wanted that kind of a lock, I'd get a secondary security lock, which would only be locked when the house is empty. I doubt you can be held responsible for an intruder getting hurt when he or she has gained access without permission.

Actually, there's a rather famous case where that's exactly what happened. In 1982, a burglar was on the roof of a school gymnasium, and fell through a painted-over skylight. The injuries he received left him a quadriplegic. He sued the school for $8 million; they settled for $260.000 plus $1200/month for life.

Now that is just messed up.

Now that is just messed up.

unfortunately the US is a litigious society...

Back in the 60s when we had a family doctor... No insurance just a family doctor we could go to him for Broken arms tonsils even having a baby....

Then the lawyers saw an opportunity.... Doctors insurance fees sky rocketed. Now Doctors dont "do" general practice any more.... they have to refer to a specialist...

The only exception will be country doctors here in the US... Remote locations...

Also why I haven't seen a doctor in about ten years.... Because of the insurance .... they wouldn't take preexisting conditions. NEVER mind obesity... because of my being more than 40 lbs over weight I was considered obese and insurance would have run me 1500 a MONTH... which was at the time three quarters of my wages.

So I am not happy about the way it was done but am happy some regulations have been provided so people like me can get some health care....

So.... Here you have to have homeowners insurance incase some bozo falls off your roof or stubbs their toe in the driveway.... But HECK you can shoot em dead and drag em in the house and its all OK.

Messed up is right.
