A perfect illustration of the danger trial lawyers pose in this society. They prey upon the weak and foolish, and the sad part is there will probably be a big time out of court settlement, so the authorities can avoid a punitive jury ruling.

That's gratitude for you.

Her attorney said the suit is not about money, but about making sure troopers and rescuers do a better job.

Yeah right. And I'm the Queen of England.

At the time of her rescue, I was shocked that rescue efforts took so long and seemed so low on their priority. I was amazed that she even survived. Poor woman.

Reminds me of the telephone solicitors who approach police and fire departments to call everyone in a given locale and give the departments a small part of the take for allowing them to use their name. The departments rationalize it is harmless and at least they get enough for a good beer bust, any amount they get being better than nothing.

Lawyers have workers who prowl the accident reports and send out mailings telling prospective client/victims it isn't going to cost them anything and they might wind up with some money. Check the covers of any big city telephone directory for their ads. Then, look at their ads under "attorneys" in the Yellow Pages.

Her attorney said.....

There should be a season and bounty on attorneys. This is nothing more than extortion.

Her attorney said the suit is not about money.....

Translation from legalspeak to plain English: It's about money.

[wcbtinman]

So the suit is not about the money?

Good, let them now declare that any proceeds from the suit will be donated to charity...including the slimeball lawyer's cut.

Ungrateful woman. If she wins, dump her back over.
