Tort Reform/Frivolous Defense
With the near omnipresent discussion about Tort Reform, one can't help but begin to think that there are too many "frivolous lawsuits" being filed, and even won. Just about the only law suits the news reports on are the ones where someone got a ridiculous verdict for a tiny accident. Are these true? Maybe some of them. But, by and large, they are exaggerated or have missing facts that the news didn't bother to include. Most people do not realize that there are methods in place to keep truly frivolous suits from being filed - and certainly from going to a jury and being won. But that's another blog for another time.
