The Blue Board

I just got back from Florida and on 275 through Tampa about every 3rd bill board was for an auto accident lawyer. I realize every profession has its "bottom feeders" but it's amazing how long the line of lawyers is to take ridiculous cases. More amazing is the % of times the insurance company pays because its cheaper to pay out than fight it. I'm not knocking lawyers nor do I think they're bad people. If the system allows it why not. I think it's more a commentary on society and everyone's desire to get rich quick.

Unfortunately this happens quite a bit and is the reason frivolous lawsuits will continue to happen. I know my ex husband had to do this. He and his two partners went into business with a fourth person. They found out that the guy was using money in the shared company to fund equipment for a business he had put in his father's name. Because each owner was a 25% shareholder, the three partners kicked out the one stealing. The thief then turned around and sued my ex and his partners. My ex was told by his lawyer to settle because it would cost him less in the long run. Seems very unfair but it happens a lot.
