Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Tad off subject, but related nevertheless. As many of you know Texas has been the king of tort reform by limiting consumers rights to the courts, and placing caps on awards. The Austin Statesman ran an article about a Candidate for Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott who is advocating caps on lawsuits of only $250,000, the use of mandatory binding arbitration, and bashes trial lawyers every chance he gets. Well....... When he had an accident in 1984, he sued, using a " greedy " trial lawyer, and received $10 MILLION doing so! Read the article at: http://www.austin360.com/statesman/editions/tuesday/metro_state_5.html Folks, Texas is the breeding ground for tort reform and hypocrisy. You might have noticed ads on TV by the Chamber of Commerce about the lawsuit abuse tax. Think Texas Candidate Gregg Abbot wont affect you? Think again. The hypocrisy is coming to America. JOKE: When do you stop bashing greedy trial lawyers? When you need one. R.
