Comment:
Barney's comment has brought several tongue lashing's from lawyers trying to justify the lawsuits and the big contigents they suck out of their "clients". The issue of safety belts has nothing to do with safety advancements made in the auto industry. They were added to avoid the cost of protracted lawsuits. If the auto industry is at fault why is the attorney all of a sudden a champion of auto safety? For every lawsuit there are numerous lawyers willing to take them on regardless of the validity. The cost to our society to defend these suits is enormous. The loss of jobs that could have been created in the US go overseas where the legal environment allows recourse but not at the expense of feeding the big contingents. When a company is sued for serving hot coffee we have a big problem. Some suits are justified however the majority of them are sucking the life out of our society.
