Cessna sued for skydiving accident.

The only basis under US law is fault, except in certain strict
liability cases which are not involved here (e.g., release of
radioactive materials). I challenge anyone to find a law or jury
instruction that imposes liability based on a party's worth.

how many times does someone without assets get sued?

'nuff said.

You're kidding, right?

What would be the point in suing someone without assets unless you
like personally supporting a lawyer?

ok, I was being, ahem, obsure. It seemed that skym believes
that the legal system determines fault and deep pockets is secondary.
However, I think we can agree that lawyers only go after those with
assets, making it obvious that they aren't interested in determining
fault but rather getting money.

You mean being a lawyer is a business and lawyers don't truely believe
all their clients are innocent?

Well, that wasn't my point, but I don't disagree with the statement.

Of course we're interested in proving fault. That's how we make
money!
