I'm amazed there not more discussion of this.

If you think for a minute, you'll realize why so few are stirred up about this...

For the current younger generation, it is perceived as normal to take most ANY issue before a court. As a corollary, most think "good for them" when someone sues and collects money from a company over ANYTHING. In their defense, though, that's all the new generation has seen. The time period from 1980-present has truly been the "era of the attorney".

Attorneys used to not pursue frivolous cases, but have learned there's $$$ in it for them. It's about following the money.

That's why I like my current business liability policy. It has a "no settle" clause (that cost a little extra) that gives ME the final say on whether a claim can be settled. Low and behold, I've yet to have the 1st lawyer pursue a claim against my business once he realized the workings of my policy.
