Correct, which means it's not about negligence. So what is it about? An ambulance chaser using emotional appeals to shakedown some deep pockets for loose change and maybe a winning lottery ticket. Every aspect is explainable with simple game theory. The more co- defendants the plaintiff can force involvement of, the higher the costs to defend and the lower per-defendant cost to settle. And the big jury award is the lottery ticket that forces the defendants to settle for multiples more than their cost to defend themselves would suggest. The despicable part -- well there are many, so one of them -- are the judges, former attorneys one and all, that allow the shakedowns to proceed so easily. -Allan > > -- > John Speare > Spokane, WA USAhttp://cyclingspokane.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
