For every one PI attorney like you, there are five more that are pieces of shite. Who knows? You might be lying and believing your lies.
Hypothetically, there could be people who sue hammer manufacturers when they hit themselves with hammers. Should hammers really come with stickers saying, "Don't hit yourself with this"? Then, they hit someone else. Now, the hammer manufacturers have to put a new sticker saying, "Don't hit humans with this". And on, and on it goes until hammer prices get high, people stop buying that hammer, and the company goes bankrupt. Those are people in your profession

Gordon is praying for healing as we discuss this, Morris is retirement age. Dudly and Douchebag will just move over and challenge the billboard lawyers in Ms/Al.

Normal people who live and drive in an area where they are infinitely more likely to get sued by pltf attys due to a run of the mill low speed auto accident where fraudulent neck and back injuries are being asserted.

he sounds like a smart dude but he's coming from the most biased perspective that there possibly could be. To call tort reform (which we've had nearly none for the auto insurance industry which has become a disaster in LA) all bluster is a joke. There are tangible concrete tort reforms that are going to get pushed next legislative session but it's going to start with the governor's race and all the LA house rep races and all to turn the state back into a Red political environment.

No i'm really not.
People need auto insurance regardless. It ain't something people can really say "frick it, i don't want it". More premiums is more commissions like i said. I can give a shite if rates are high as frick or gets more in line with rest of country.
People love to bitch about auto rates. It's all people do. People need to understand what drives these rates. And all these fricking blood sucking lawyers getting rich will fight to death against tort reform to make any real progress with the auto environment of the state of LA.
Oh, but this dude invented seat belts, he's such a martyr. LOL

And do any of the companies who products you sell engage in dishonest or shitty behavior? You ever see anything wrong with how they handle a claim?

Has anyone elaborated on what tort reform they would like to see?
There are a number of things that we should be trying to do, however nothing ever makes it out of session. The most recent example I can think of is legislation that would have required anyone who is in accident to have been wearing a seatbelt in order to bring suit against another. Seems like an easy enough thing to pass right? If you were breaking the law, then you shouldn't receive certain benefits. They went to session on this topic over 10 times, it was nixed.
In Texas they cap worker's compensation payouts to a figure somewhere around $250K I believe. In Louisiana there is no such thing, the claim can balloon to 7 figures quicker than you would think.
There are a plentiful amount of common sense practices that we can put in place; but until the Governor's mansion is the home to someone who isn't best friends with every plaintiff atty in the state, it's going to be very difficult.

Could you elaborate on these reforms or are these talking points you bring back here?

Maybe they don't have the volume of billboards, but PI attorneys there make a shite ton and are in trial all the time.

I am assuming the King Firm will say they simply relied on what their clients told them and no idea that the accident was staged basically, head in the sand.
I don't think this excuse is going to fly for them and the couple of other firms (it's not just the 2 named in the article) involved in this. It doesn't pass the smell test. The firms being implicated have several, if not a dozen, of these identical cases. If it were just a few cases at issue, maybe you could say that it's coincidence.
But when a single firm gets a dozen+ cases, all with different plaintiffs but virtually the same mysterious facts involving these 18 wheelers, it should put any reasonable attorney on notice that something isn't right.

Good, I hope they get all these bastards. What will happen is average Joe gonna do some time. Lawyers and doctors involved slap on the wrist.

I can see adding a degree of comparative fault for no seat belt but you can't excuse the other driver's negligence. In that same thought would someone who was not at fault for an accident but was going 5mph over the speed limit not be able to file suit because they were breaking the law.
