I beg to differ. "..public outrage..."? <snort!> "Lawsuits Happen"?
<hee hee> You want to curb outrageous lawsuits? You want to make
Lawsuits Not Happen? Then gut the contingency fee. We're the only
country in the world, AFAIK, that allows for contingency fees. Of
course, contingency fees allow the little guy with no money to sue the
big guy with deep pockets. I wish we had the French system wherein the
loser pays all.
