“If everyone decided that when a case has no merit we won’t settle I wonder how many of these suits would go away?”
I’d guess about 60% or so. Why do you think supermarkets have cctv’s? Not to protect against theft, but to put an end to the literally THRIVING business of slipping and falling on a wet floor or somesuch in the supermarkets - I’ve actually seen CCTV footage of someone deliberately pouring a small amount of water on the floor, dispose of the bottle and then walk back and slip and fall on the wet floor.

NYC has a bus fraud unit. Everytime a city bus is in an accident dozens of people claim injuries. Even when the bus was empty.

NYC will stage a bus accident. Then every whack job that claims injury gets charged with fraud. Just to deter the practice of claiming injuries.
