I rather dislike the (frequently American) immediate viewpoint of assigning blame/responsibility in the case of a failure, and thus who can someone sue. This isn't an uncommon viewpoint at all, rather it seems to be the first that many go to.

Responsibility (blame) is not the same thing as "who can I sue?"

For one thing, finding the source of the problem, or whatever warped thought process resulted in it, is a good place to start fixing things.
