Here we go another slip and fall Lawsuit. What did people do before there were even concrete sidewalks? With 4 Lawyers for every 1000 People these BOTTOM-FEEDER ATTORNIES are Everywhere - Looking to find someone to Sue and Find Responsible for everything other than their Idiotic Clients. More and more People, Companies, Businesses, even the Government are finding themselves on the side of a Lawsuit based on everyone else is responsible for your personal mishaps - we are suing this Country into Bankruptcy - because we allow Frivoulus Lawsuits to occur - always thinking they must have Insurance, so that will cover my Future Life - not realizing that Insurance Rates are continually going up because of these Lawsuits - Do we need to post signs everywhere to Stop these Lawsuits and Force the Responsibilities back onto the Public at Large and introduce Legislation to Stop all of these Lawsuits and allow if you Sue someone and Loose the Defendants have the Right to Sue for Damages and Legal Fees?
