I think they'll get hit with something huge. A fire in an apartment that takes out the complex. A rape. A death. Something that'll ding them to the order of tens of millions, or more. For one incident. Something that they can't make go away for $20K. If there's a big enough payday, it will make its way into the press, no doubt.

I wonder why the ambulance-chasing lawyers haven't already dinged Airbnb with class-action suits?

Is the ToS really ironclad in limiting their liability?

Or are they just not big enough yet that they can be counted on to settle the case? After all, class-action lawyers rarely want to go to trial. They're much happier with a settlement that leaves them with a rich payday, but has only modest benefits for the putative class members. (A $10 coupon for your next Airbnb stay!)
