You rail on personal injury lawyers and workers comp lawyers, as though
they're all corrupt. And, that's not even close to true. I'm certain
that
99% or higher percentage of honest and hardworking.

I only go on their sleazy ads and the number of unsolicited mailings
my wife got after a very minor accident report at work (no cost
incurred at all)

Are you advocating banning mail advertising also? I'm not sure how you
expect the system to work.


How did the system work for the 200 years before they had TV ads, 50
of that after we had TV?

You're going to claim we should go back to a 3 mph society to solve our
current problems? I would imagine that 200 years ago, there was perhaps one
or two lawyers in the general area.



I suspect you don't know what happened with the "woman" on her cell or
how
much pain she incurred. Are you psychic?

I was standing next to her when she pulled the "Morgan and Morgan"
(one of our TV lawyers) card out of her purse and asked HER LAWYER if
she should refuse medical care.
I walked away, knowing nobody was hurt here, except maybe anyone who
buys medical or auto insurance next year.


Well, I it sounds like she thought that was an option. People refuse
medical
help all the time. Sometimes that right, sometimes wrong. Again, how did
you
know she wasn't actually hurt? If I were her attorney (I don't practice
that
sort of law), I would tell her to get treated.

Perhaps instead of walking away, you should have asked her if she was ok?
Sometimes injuries aren't obvious. Again, rail all you want, but the
typical
sort of response some make is... just wait, you'll see.


She was not interested in talking to anyone but Morgan and Morgan,
just like she was told on TV. There were plenty of people there. The
paramedics were rolling up and I did not feel I had any more to
contribute.

So, someone called the paramedics. They are trained to evaluate a person's
condition. Typically, if they have any doubt they recommend a hospital visit
via ambulance.
