(10,539 posts)They never want to believe that they are now one of "those" people. I am an attorney in Tx & Ms and when they come to me and I tell them that all of the tort reform they voted for prevents them from having a case they always respond, "that's just for those frivolous cases." When I tell them that the problem with all of the frivolous cases was just made up to put caps on the real cases, or do away with causes of action all together, they still refuse to believe. I then explain that because we only get paid if we are successful, so we do not take BS cases. Now we cannot take what used to be great cases because the damage caps are so low, and the case expenses that we the attorneys pay for are so high. I tell them that they have been voting to restrict and/or do away with their rights. They still say, I didn't know! These corporations and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have been working for the last 25 years on a concerted plan to prevent you from ever having a day in Court against them.
