Claim culture for some is an epidemic out of control. We live in a litigious society where people who are injured in some way look for someone to sue in order to collect a large judgment. Of course there is the legitimate accident that happens which could have or should have been prevented and someone is seriously injured.
There is the man who promotes his law firm on television for getting him a million dollar settlement. We never see his whole body though. We only see his head on the screen caption. No doubt the man suffered a severe injury that left him paralyzed.
But we only see the top part of him, his head only. We do not see the rest of his body which is probably paralyzed for life due to whatever injury he sustained. I do not think anyone would take a million dollar settlement in exchange for life in a wheel chair.
But then there are those who slip and fall in a business owned area and are quick to find a lawyer to represent them. The lawyer has a doctor who he sends his client to who finds a lot soft tissue damage. The person suing settles for a thousands of dollars.
Was the person injured or was it a fake? The issue is a complex one. You see there are many lawyers out there who are making almost minimum wage when you add up all their expenses and the lack of cases they have. This means a lawyer is looking for any client to walk into his office that he can help him pay his rent and his legal secretary.
This is what is meant by the claim culture we live in today. Many get injured and think that their ship has come in. But the lawyers are there to help them with there arrival. They will send them to doctors who will agree to all sorts of pains and injuries the client will claim.
Did you know that there are many lawyers who only barely pay their rent. They have become their own legal staff because they cannot afford a legal secretary. And yes many are looking for ways to sue others in order to put food on the table. There are simply too many lawyers and not enough clients to go around.
And this is not to say that people are not to blame either. One lady demanded that a pedestrian provide his name and address to her. He had crossed in front of her in the crosswalk. The driver behind her almost her her and had to brake suddenly. She thought in case that driver would sue her in case he hurt his neck by stopping quickly she needed to be able to sue the man who crossed in the crosswalk legally for causing her to stop. And thus our culture of claim and blame moves on.
