Re: How Low Will The Lawyers Go?
The problem with these ambulance chasers now is that when people are really hurt in an accident, they lose in court.
You cannot tell a jury you are suing an insurance company.
You cannot tell a jury you are suing because you have no income and need your medical cost covered that have gone beyond PIP.
The Insurance Company can utterly destroy your credibility because you did not go see a doctor, or failed to keep an appointment, taking comments made to medical staff out of context, and editing video depositions so they "fit" the insurance companies lie.
They can do this because you are powerless, by court order and law, from telling the whole story. That you did not go to the doctor because your PIP coverage had maxed out and any more medication or doctors visits were your responsibility to pay for.
The laws work both ways, they are designed to make truth subjective. Which ever lawyer can present the best "show" wins.
Tabbacoo companies are the lowest form of life on earth and what they did to make Tobacco more addictive was out of pure evil. The Trial lawyers just cashed in on it.
I agree that tort reform is needed, but when law is subject to preseved truth, then justice is no longer blind. An inocent man can be convicted for a crime he did not commit because of subjective turth.
A man seriously injured in a car accident looses his case in court because the Insurance Lawyers have all the laws in there favor. BIG MONEY buys the laws.
I believe that our jury system is broken, and I know that our crimial and civil law systems are utterly bog down in BS.
If a person if tried for a crime, and they are found inocent, or aquitted, then the State should pay for there financial losses incurred as a result of the trial.
To many times to many people have lost everything they own to lawyers and court cost for utterly BS reasons.
As long as we continue to accept our system of justice as is, we will continue to see more and more abuses of the system for those who can afford the price of justice.
Simply put, how much justice are you willing to pay for? In the case of trial lawyers, a lot because the pay off is even bigger.
