Without lawyers and claims, people would have no use for your product or your services.
I pay high malpractice premiums, just like you do. During my career, I would guesstimate, I've paid about a quarter million in premiums. I had one claim - settled for $5,000 after I paid my $5,000 deductible.
You, too, can get rich, Jacqueline. Just get hit by a drunk driver so that you end up in a wheelchair. It will be great. You'll get millions of dollars and not have to work as a peon anymore. Such a deal!
Your ignorance about the civil justice system and the way it works is rather stunning. With a little investigation, I think you will find that the biggest cost the carriers incur is in defending claims, not settling them.
