The Judges in New York State courts are under pressure to move civil cases and the way to move them is to push for money settlements regardless of the facts.
It is a system that keeps the lawyers on both sides fully occupied, and is a drain on the whole economic system.
Idiotic standards are created to head off law suits. A good example is a $8.00, 2 foot circular pink plastic blow up tube for a kiddie pool with a tiny pink blow up umbrella attached which is emblazened with the statement "Not meant as a Life Saving Device".We all see such examples daily.
My favorite cartoon depicts an attorney at a firm interviewing a prospective lawyer and stating "This firm has a long history of bringing gravitas to frivolous lawsuits". This pretty much says it all.
