well we can at least put a curb on frivilous lawsuits by making the plaintiffs pay all the court costs if they lose the case, plus inconvenience damages or what not, make the cost of bringing lawsuits high if they lose, that may distract some people from suing. Now I am embarrassed to say it, but my mother in law, who works for a law office has made a career out of doing this. My wife's sister and brother when younger got a large settlement from a school, because the school bus they were on hit the bus parked ahead of it, going about 2 miles an hour, nobody was hurt, but the school settled. She also would purposely drive around and get in front of a commercial truck and try to get it to rear end her. She also sued a photography company that used my wife's picture when she was in high school as part of their promotion, they had flyers and signs made with my wife's picture on it, without her giving permission. When my wife (only 17 at the time) found out she was thrilled about it, but her mother sued, but my wife wouldn't cooperate so she had to drop the lawsuit. She also has made a career out of bringing her ex husband (which is my wife's father) to court whenever possible. Needless to say I am on the best terms with her cigar smoking father, and her mother knows it.
