Bad laws encourage abusive lawsuits that line the pockets of personal injury lawyers
Bad laws create more reasons and opportunities to sue a person or a business. This encourages a personal injury lawyer, let’s call him “Lawsuit Larry,” to exploit the law and create a new gravy train of often questionable lawsuits.
Personal injury lawyers aggressively recruit plaintiffs to file lawsuits and generate lawsuit fees
Lawsuit Larry is everywhere urging people to sue and promising lawsuit payouts. He recruits a plaintiff, “Bob,” to join a lawsuit. Bob may, or may not, have any real injury, but he’s willing to sue because he might win some money.
If Lawsuit Larry wins the case, he’ll take a big chunk of Bob’s lawsuit payout.
Personal injury lawyers donate to political campaigns to influence lawmakers
Lawsuit Larry takes some of his lawsuit fees and contributes to “Sam’s” political campaign. It’s an investment in Sam, who will return the favor once elected.
Trial lawyer-friendly politicians protect existing bad laws, and write new ones that encourage abuse
Once in office, Sam blocks legal reforms and supports legislation that creates more lawsuit opportunities, and more money, for Lawsuit Larry.
