Thank you for visiting the Los Angeles Lawsuit Abuse Blog. 

I have launched this blog as a resource for citizens in Los Angeles County who have been victimized by lawsuit abuse or by attorneys seeking to benefit themselves at the expense of the citizens and the legal system.

If you are a small business owner or a citizen who has been the victim of lawsuit abuse, please tell us about it here.  By working together, we can raise awareness of this costly problem and in doing so reduce the amount of money being taken out of each of our pockets by smarmy legislators, greedy attorneys, irresponsible citizens and members of the medical profession who form the ugly quartet of lawsuit abuse in our state. 

Is a pair of pants really worth $54 million?  I would not have liked to be the next guy in line at the courthouse behind that schmoe. Anyone out there familiar with the Tennie Pierce case?  Did you know LAUSD spent $40 million in lawsuit costs and lawyers fees over the past two years?  Did you know the city of Los Angeles is now making homeowners pay for sidewalk repairs when they purchase a house, thereby passing on the liability for trip and fall lawsuits to each of us? (The city is now facing nearly $6 million in sidewalk slip and fall lawsuits by the way.)  Did you know lawsuit abuse costs each of us more than $800 annually? 

And that says nothing about Americans With Disabilities Act abuses -- how many restaurants, nail salons, dry cleaners and other small businesses have been harmed by the abuse of this important law.  Our trial lawyer controlled legislature is so lawsuit hungry they would not even allow small businesses time to fix violations -- they just said so ahead and start suing! 

Please feel free to communicate with me and others about your experiences with abusive lawsuits and those who support them.  By sharing your experiences with this community, we can collectively identify helpful resources, communicate with others who have had similar experiences and work together to raise awareness of the problem of lawsuit abuse in LA County. 

Working together we can save ourselves money!
