Actually no lawyer hurt me bad yet, and I am determined not to let that happen, they have just hurt the entire population of the usa.

So there is nothing wrong with somebody (plaintiff and lawyer) gaining personal wealth at the expense of another who did nothing wrong ?

Were they legally intoxicated? Obviously, one can make multiple points/case from either side. It boils down to "do you believe if someone provides aid, voluntarily, in good faith, that they should or should not be held liable for any perceived injuries".
Yeah I'm currently involved in a legal suit, suing my GC for construction issues, that by contractural agreement, he was obligated to complete, but the contract is kind of like the law, it's really not worth the paper it's printed on. People hide behind LLC's, are uncollectabe, law has it written that way. This is a small problem, but still very irritating, kind of llike a wart.
I was involved in a law suit from a doper who accidently overdosed himself, died, about 10 years ago, care from an ex-partner. Well, my (our) malpractice ins carrier had gone belly up in the mean time, and eveybody in my group, 20 of us, were going to be held personally liable for this idiots actions. Well, some money was scrounged up, and the doper wife accepted, so none of us lost any personal items, and our insurance didn't go up either. Thank god.
I look at the current financial crises, caused by the politians (lawyers) screwing around with the economy, fannie and freddie, leaving us for the bail out, affecting the economy. Not only causing the problem but failing to hold people accountable for the problem as well.
I look at my dad's retirement, he lost about 60% or more. I'm sure he's not the only one, people making money $20-40 per hour of real labor, and the wall street people play insider trading, CEO's and upper management walking away with millions before their company goes bankrupt, etc, and nothing done about it. Again, this goes back to the gov, ie the people running it.
I see medical care being hurt by policies/law. Why don't many hospitals have neurosurgeons on call for head trauma, because their malpractice goes sky high to cover some doper with head trauma. That's why there are only select hopsitals that cover major trauma. Doctor's leaving state's because of malpractice issues, usually because they just have a case against them in which they did nothing wrong, case was settled or they won, but still they lose their insurance or the cost is prohibitive to do business. Basically they were run out of town when they did nothing wrong. Happens all the time. In fact just over xmas I met a podiatrist where this happened.
This samaritan thing does hit home, as I am torn between helping someone and risking my personal health, as the victim and lawyer could see me (or anybody) as a pot of gold. In my state, health care providers are specifically not covered by my state's samaritan's law. Wonder why?
In the US system, if you're sued, and win, you still lose because it cost's thousands of diollars.
In general, the laws are really $hit, and they are what runs, governs, and hurts the economy. Allowing bad business and people to get away with it. Who wrote the laws?
As for you, like a lawyer, you nit-pick to prove your point, just like in this case. Pathetic. Your posts are far from being a good moderator, often stating or inferring an opinion in a thread where your trying to be un-biased moderator.
The older I get, the more screwed up I see the US gov. Who in the gov makes the laws/policies ? The USA could be a much better place for business/life.
You are part of the problem.
That's why I feel the way I do.
