Just curious. Theoretically could one be held liable for bad advice given on yahoo answers?

In theory, sure... But that would be the same as taking advise from anybody, anywhere. The answers, comments and suggestions given here- are obviously not given by professionals, for the most part.

No...because it's all considered a personal opinion. Everyone has a right to that. Whether you choose to accept the advice is up to you.
The only difference may be someone claiming to be a doctor (or whatever), giving what would be considered "expert advice." There could be some issues there. But seeing as this is essentially a public forum, the chances of being held liable are probably slim.

There is no legal liability for an answer given here. Even if someone made a claim that they were a lawyer/doctor/whatever, there is no liability.

I think so, if you do harm to some even threw advice we can be made accountable.
