On the other hand malpractice suits feed the ever-growing population of predatory lawyers hustling frivolous cases.
Its time for the losers to pay all the costs of both plaintiff and defendant. I once got a notice that I was part of a class action suit against a hardware company started by a kid who couldnt figure out how to setup a ZIP drive. The class action asked if I wanted to participate or be removed from the suit. I would have had to travel to Pennsylvania (600 miles) to remove myself from the suit where the case was filed. Otherwise, I had to notify the plaintiffs attorneys to include me, which would just take a call to their Boston office. The notice was clearly lopsided in favor of the interests of the plaintiffs ATTORNEYS. The whole system is set up for their benefit. None of these pickpockets ever put their lives on the line for the people. They prey on the wealth of productive businessmen and the public trough. I await the day they screw things up so badly that the indifferent rise up and tar and feather the bastards.
