So, Doug, if you become a quadriplegic because some defective product caused you to crash, will you refuse to sue the maker of that product on principle? Wouldn't want some sue-happy lawyer getting rich off you. (You better pray that tort "reform" hasn't happened yet.) I do pray for tort reform; the sooner the better. Our system has been hijacked by the trial lawyers for their personal enrichment by allowing contingency fees, class action suits and not adopting the 'loser pays' rule. If you think you have suffered a loss because of someone else, then by all means, sue; if you win, collect what you are out, if you lose you should pay for the damage you caused the other party. My point remains that I object to the higher prices I pay for everything because of jury awards for obscene amounts of punitive damages in cases where the injured simply wanted to avoid personal responsibility and the law firms wanted to make a ton of money. How much more will we pay for vacuum pumps because the Carnahan family soaked Parker Hannifin to the tune of $4m for damages caused by vacuum pumps that did not fail and did not contribute to the crash? |
