It's 50/50 whether he's right in suing or he's fishing for easy money. I generally side against whoever is suing some company or someone in america for money. Too many americans are starting to just sue others over anything no matter if they're in the right or not. 

Al Shapton's daughter is trying to sue a city over her ankle/leg getting hurt on a cracked sidewalk and the next weekend she's posting pics on social media of her mountain climbing. 

Not sure justice is served if we simply assume any lawsuit brought forth by an American is simply false, otherwise, I think Baltimore and Ferguson Missouri might be in a sticky situation.  More likely, cases should be analyzed in a case by case basis (as is the norm).  Frivilous lawsuits will always be an issue when people have the rights they do in America (people abuse all systems, we know this.  Cops are too aggressive, military can violate rules of engagement or engage in horrific things, lawyers, banks, insurance, employers, hospitals etc....., this doesn't mean they're all bad, or all innocent.  Just that there are some people out there willing to try to abuse the system for gain.  Ignoring all lawsuits, would solve nothing.


No. No. No.... I wasn't saying that the US should ignore all lawsuits or anything like that. I personally will side the people being suied over the other side because of the growing frequency of frivolous lawsuits and people in general taking their liberties too far. That's just me. Should the government do that? No. I agree that the system should be there to protect people but then again it shouldn't be exploited for personal gain no where to the extent that it has. It sets the wrong precedent. The process in how they choose which lawsuits are allowed needs to be refined though.
