frivolous lawsuits

This week Bernie admits to watching "He's All That" (a remake of She's All That from the 90's) and we break down how terrible it is. We dig down the rabbit hole of terrible lawsuits like the Nirvana Baby suing the band, a woman suing Pop-tarts over the lack of fruit, and  a guy who got in a drunken bar fight and hurt himself was awarded $5.5 million. Plus, a public service message: DON'T DRUNK DRIVE AND ELEPHANT!

There are a few truths about our legal system: if you have the money and time, you can sue anybody for anything. It is true that there are litigious people and unethical attorneys who will bring lawsuits on their behalf in spite of the evidence. It is also true that there are people out there who try to game and abuse the legal system for their own personal gain—whether it be to save face for their own bad actions or for monetary gain.

However, there are protections built into the law that protect you, me and businesses from lawsuits that are without legal merit. This week, Reed Morgan makes a second appearance on The Verdict to discuss the type of propaganda used to bring about tort reform.
