An attempt to place the blame of your own stupidity on someone with a lot of money or a lot of insurance, eg suing McDonalds for spilling coffee on yourself.
An attempt to collect for injuries you don't have, eg an asbestos case for mental anguish because plaintiffs agonized over the possibility of someday contracting an asbestos related illness.
An attempt to collect for benefits you didn't purchase, eg coverage for flood damages under a homeowner's policy that expressly excludes damage from flood.
How do you define frivolous defense?
