    What a pious bunch of money grubbers! So they changed their name? Ambulance chasing by any other name is just as grubby.

    AHEM. Let\’s not forget the reputation the insurance industry has with the American public… You\’re all a bunch of greedy dirtbags.

    I have been in the insurance industry for
    17 years. I have never seen any good come
    out of the frivolous lawsuits i.e. slip
    and falls. The planet is a hazardous place.
    Take responsibility for your own actions. Do not place the blame on somebody else. How perfect is the property you own?

    If the ATLA is really for justice, why are they so afraid of the LOOSER PAY RULE?
    It in NO WAY takes away an individuals
    right to sue. We are the ONLY civilized
    country in the world that does not have this. WHY? Because who writes the laws and
    who interprets them – LAWYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also, unless your Amish, you can not aford
    to be with out insurance.

    How come the legal industry is not attacked
    like other professions as it pertains to
    the fees charged??? I.e. Mr. Attorney you
    can not charge $300 per hour for that service. You are only approved for $40.
    They tell doctors who go to school for
    10 years what to charge. Yet 3 years of law school and you receive the right to screw your neighbor. Where are the ethics??? We have a lot of great attorneys
    in this country but we need to weed out
    and stop the slugs from making a living
    off their neighbor.

    Andrew – most do not have a problem with \”real people with real injuries\” having their day in court before a jury of their peers. The problem is when lawyers manufacture a problem into a class action and take millions for themselves and leave the \”real people with perceived injuries\” pennies. There\’s also a problem with people passing the responsibility of their own stupid actions (most famously spilling coffee on themselves) to a company with deep pockets.

    People resent those they depend on most. It is human nature. It\’s the thing that makes kids move out of the house. In most cases that is a good thing. It encourages independence of the next generation.
    The attornies resent and hate the insurance companies most, because without the deep pockets there is nothing to pick. They cannot be independent. For the most part is the ethics of convenience.

    This was going to happen at last years annual meeting but there was a traffic accident outside the hotel and they would not get a quorum for the vote.

    The ATLA should change its name to the American Association for Just Us. ATLA has and always will be famous for redistributing wealth. Some things never change.
