The only basis under US law is fault, except in certain strict

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.
