It's a known fact that Americans try and get money by any means necessary, especially if they don't have to do anything for it. And lawyers like to exploit your pain, disease, death and discomfort, even if it's by your own stupidity.
Am I saying all lawyers are crooks, scoundrels and gonifs, no, we need some of them, they do serve some good, even 'One call, that's all' or his new 'One click, that's it', Ken Nugent. The ambulance chasers go after the corrupt insurance companies, so in some effect they cancel each other out. Hell, they're probably in cahoots with each other.
But then we have, basically the guy driving the ambulance, James Sokolove. His commercials pop up everywhere, whether you got prescribed a bad drug or you worked in a mine and now you're dying. His new one is the one that has irked my dander. I don't want to misquote the commercial, but it was going after ATV's, it had a Yamaha model number, but it said like vehicles.
First off, ATV's are dangerous, even when they banned 3 wheelers and put 4 on them. I'm sure there will be a rebuttal of they're only dangerous if used improperly. Remember what ATV stands for, All Terrain Vehicle. That means some idiot will try and jump a creek with it. or be hauling ass down a trail and try to make a quick turn. Guess what? It's going to flip and land on your dumbass. I'm sure some Einstein was watching America's funniest videos, Youtube or myspace and saw some guy on an ATV and he did something cool, so they tried to emulate, but they ended up getting hurt. So hey, call a lawyer, let's sue.
Once again, it's people that aren't willing to accept responsibility for their actions. I've done enough stupid things that me or my friend's should be dead. I've had guns pointed at my friends when they came out of the bathroom. Think about just taking a dump, feeling relieved and opening the door to stare down the barrel of a rifle. Or riding in the back of a pickup while the driver was flying around curves and we were like pinballs in the back. Did we know we could get hurt? Yes, did we care? No, we were young and stupid, but that's not a reason to sue. I've ridden mini-bikes since I could ride a bike, I've ridden 3 wheelers, I've shot guns, but I've been fortunate enough not to hurt myself or anyone.
My parents have had plenty of legitimate lawsuits they could've filed but didn't, why? Because they were accidents, accidents happen. One of them almost cost my brother his life. He was diagnosed with migraines but had a brain tumor. They could've sued the doctor for misdiagnosing him for 6 months. But we cry wolf with health and don't believe in preventative care. It's all about 'here's a pill'. And if this pill doesn't work, we'll give you another one. But that's another rant.
So back to the being a dumbass and trying to sue. It goes along with any sport where there's a possibility of injury. If you have the balls to jump into a wrestling ring and that 'rassler' hurts you and you try to sue, you'll get laughed out of court. Once you step into the ring, it's considered an assumed risk. And for once assume doesn't mean make an ass out of u and me. Just like if you jump out of an airplane, bungee jump, whatever, there's a possibility of injury. Just like riding an ATV.
