>> lawyers not the problem Craig, I'd go along with that. *BUT*, maybe you would agree that the *SYSTEM* in this country in which the lawyers operate, which many times *COMPLETELY DISREGARDS* the meaning of "neglegence", is partially the problem. If we gave judges the perogative to "thow-out" jury judgements if the evidence doesn't meet a very strict definition on what is neglegence, we may obtain some breating room. Until that happens, both *WE* (the people) and *THEY* (the lawyers) we continue to be too tempted by the posibility of "big dollars". Really all you need is to show a family who has lost a loved one to a jury and they will try to "just give them something for their loss", even if it was mainly their stupidity or just provedence. My wife and I had our 1st child 6 mo ago, and good OBGYN's are getting scarse due to people suing them for that nature and sometimes their own behavoir had delt them. Without a very clear definition of neglegence and also the empowerment of the judiciary to enforce this standard, the carrots will still be dangling, and the horses (both the plaintiffs and the lawyers) will find it hard time not trying to take a bite.
