[ RadSafe ] TEPCO Lawsuits

[enielsen at elmore.rr.com]

The unfortunate state of our (US) legal and social system has resulted in the proverbial "Lawsuit Lottery".

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Frivolous and/or baseless lawsuits that have no repercussions for the filer or attorney so "why not?". If you throw enough s%$t against the wall some is bound to stick and the lawyers will scrape their 20-30% off the top.

Tort reform needs to create a "cost" to file such a lawsuit. Then and only then can those truly aggrieved receive their day in court.
