Reply #213: I have a clue what it costs, I see it in every insurance bill

That's why I know the cost. The current contingency fee benefits the lawyers and various other profesionals involved in the lawsuit industry (certain doctors, chiropractors and professional witnesses). The working middle class and poor, as a whole, suffer from this out of control system. In the end the lawsuit industry creates wealthy people while producing nothing of use to society. It's a parasitic relationship.

There needs to be a system of checks and balances that prevents the rampant fraud and abuse of the civil legal system. Until then the American public will be victims of this sick injury lottery game the lawsuit industry has created to entice the ignorant and greedy, while hurting the honest and hard working.
