Actually it's the lawyers who benefit from the harrasment initiated by the . wives, children, (natural, adopted, step,illegitimate), mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, etc. These people initiate the actions, the lawyers just represent them. You don't think that the lawyers are representing themselves in the suits do you? Place the blame where it belongs. Not on lawyers in malpractice suits, not on guns in murders. The law is a weapon the same as a gun. It's the person using it (plaintiff) that is responsible for it's use. The lawyer is just a part of the weapon.
Balderdash!!
Of course they are representing themselves. They don't give a damn about the plaintiffs, they care only about the case.
I don't know about what goes on in your world, but in mine Guns don't place millions of dollars in ads looking for "Malpractice suits", nor do they actively look under every rock for someone who might murder another. You obviously have never been at the scene of many accidents or Hospital emergency rooms. If you had, you would have noticed the Lawyers scrambling to see who would be first to give the "Victim", "Perpetrator" their card first.
Nothing like seeing a Lawyer try to give someone who is obviously overwhelmed with grief, their card.My opinion >>>>>>>> Most Lawyers are the scum of the earth, even the crud I scrape off the bottom of my shoes has higher standing in my book.
