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


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.

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.

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.

My daughter and I got rear ended a few years back by an elderly couple
from Florida on vacation. I walked up to the guys car and he and his
wife were in hysterics so I let them know we were ok.. After a few
minutes and after the cops came I sat down with the old man and assured
him that my daughter and I were not hurt and we would not sue. The old
man calmed down a bit. The next day when his insurance agent called me I
started the conversation with the same information and he said that he
was glad I said that and he would call the old fellow as they were still
pretty shook up and concerned at their age to get sued.. Man, that seems
all that anybody thinks of now...
