subject: Much Manipulation From Personal Injury Lawyers [print this page] Considering the situation of the personal injury lawyers in the modern world, it seems fitting to congratulate America for a job well done with regard to the provision of every bit of leverage needed by these hooligans. Millions of Americans were shocked to learn from The New York Times recently that personal injury lawyers knew about failures involving a tire company, yet didn't report this to any authority thereby letting nearly 200 people die because they wanted to protect their private lawsuits and their hefty awards. Client confidentiality became the primary argument of the lawyers when it comes to this.
When paying lawyers their fees today, it will usually amount to a third or half of the settlement a client gets under the contingency fee arrangements. Personal income is what every lawyer wanted to protect and not the client.
Instead of putting public safety first, as should be, the lawyers are applying a double standard by putting profits first. It is in the court of public opinion where an argument from lawyers where nothing is wrong with this set up has never achieved much success. In this case, people will be aware of how personal injury lawyers do not exist to protect the interests of consumers.
As these lawyers continue to manipulate the system for the protection of their own gains, at least there is a chance to show the public what it is that these people have been doing all along as they hide behind the image of consumer protection. Beginning with the election process, the tire defects issue is another example of the string of crazy lawsuits that have affected the constitution negatively.
While comprising a mere fraction of the population, the personal injury lawyers as a special interest account for one of the largest single donors to political campaigns. There are a number of people who are forgotten by the system that is supposed to provide for the best interests of the entire population and this is due to the control given by this to the elite.
What the personal injury lawyers are doing now is targeting the dealers of safe and useful goods and services with undeserved class action lawsuits. As they hide behind consumers, they could easily make bogus class actions and seek out the top prize in settlements.
Normally, clients represented by these lawyers end up without much of a settlement especially during one case over computer monitor sizes wherein they only got $6 coupons and their lawyers got $6 million. As well as increasing taxes, these lawsuits usually result to police being taken off the streets, closed parks, and pools.
Small businesses attacked by these lawsuits can end up shut down with employees cut from work. When applied to health care providers, these could result in price increases and lessened accessibility. With these, our cost of living increases.
Annually, the American tort reform association estimates the cost from lawsuits to be around $1,200. Delayed justice for actual victims, clogged courts, not to mention the lack of confidence in the system results from these.
The system of the personal injury lawyers' bar indeed has a problem failed to be recognized by the members themselves making it worse. Trying to regain the good reputation of the system without any extortion against American business and consumers are the colleagues of these lawyers.
Back in the day the personal injury lawyers reigned like Haman of old but nowadays it is their victims who are the ones hanging them out to dry. Not only when it comes to liberties, legislators, and the courts but it could be hoped for that exposing the crimes of these personal injury lawyers could lead to an immediate dissolution of their influence.
