The entire personal injury racket is corrupt, and it's not just the plaintiff lawyers.

First of all, know that I am a defense attorney and have been for a quarter of a century.

The plaintiffs are corrupt. They have been conditioned to think every car accident entitles them to some money. They lie about their injuries. Many get surgery if the policy limits are high. It is a culcha of "get what's mine" and it is ubiquitous.

The plaintiff attorneys are corrupt. They talk sanctimoniously about "helping people" (LOL) but they're in it to get rich. They exploit a bad system by signing up uninjured people, running them through their corrupt doctors, pushing them to have treatment they don't need, and doing everything they can to inflate damages.

The doctors are corrupt. Don't listen to anybody who tells you otherwise. When a doctor's practice is 100% based on attorney referrals, he is corrupt. And there are plenty of those out there.

The judges are corrupt. Most are former plaintiff attorneys who never really made a killing (defense lawyers generally don't run for judge because they don't want the pay cut, although some do). They take care of their own. Some are absolutely brazen in their contempt for defendants. I can name 15 in NO/BR without stopping to take a breath.

Defense attorneys are mostly corrupt (at least the ones that do well). They benefit from the rigged system and don't want it to go away. Many lie on their timesheets and churn files unnecessarily to generate more fees.

The insurance companies. LOL. They are my clients. They are just trying to run a business and make it as profitable as possible. But to do that, they treat their defense lawyers badly. They make bad decisions, ignore their lawyers' advice, and blame their lawyers when shite goes wrong. Oh, and they gouge the shite out of ordinary people with high premiums and refuse to pay legitimate claims.

The whole system is rigged. It is not likely to change until people stop driving cars.

And yes, I am writing a book.
