Let's be honest. It's the greedy plaintiff attorney bar that's causing the bulk of this problem. Sitting in the barber shop I saw a TV ad for Jacoby & Myers. Involved in any type of accident? You may be entitled to compensation". Why does our society continue to allow scumbags to preach the religion of "Accidents = Free Money"? In 35 years of handling claims I have yet to see a medical study that says money makes injuries heal faster. Aside from taxing an already strained healthcare system by maximizing treatment for every injury case they handle, these bloodsuckers do nothing more than collect bills, try to make every injury seems worse than it really is, they sit back an take 30%. Nice system. Unfortunately the public is too stupid to realize that what they take in in settlement money goes out the door in increased medical and insurance premiums. Two things will never change: politicians and attorneys. They belly up to the social trough and have a good old time.
