This blogger is pretty shortsighted and has bought into corporate America’s narrative of lawyers being the bad guys. While it is true lawyers are often out for themselves it is in their best interest to give their clients the best possible representation. Corporate America pays and lobbies to create an illusion of lawyers out to fleece America don’t buy this crap. They are the ones best suited to protect your rights as consumers and individuals. Think about the McDonalds case if you want. Prior to her injury McDonalds had over 300 injuries due to their high coffee temperature. They failed to respond. The woman got severely hurt. The jury of her peers, people like me and you decided the damages. In cases such as these there are punitive damages in excess of personal damages. This is because McDonalds would have no incentive to change their coffee policy if the award was not substantial. If it is cheaper for an asbestos company to pay injured people $50,000 than change their injurious policies they will continue to do that. This blogger has bought the rhetoric and isn’t smart enough to see it.
