What purpose would that serve?? Other than feeding your primative human psychological need for revenge and make you feel big and powerful, and put a Jaguar and beach house on your list of "cool ****** I own", theres no point. You will be sorely disappointed when it solves none of your problems.
MikeB525,
I think some of us are being a bit naive about this. Although there may be a few opportunist involved here, they're also those who lost a huge part of their families income, because of this incident. Maybe the sole breadwinner died in the accident, maybe the issues of choosing between providing income for one's family, and providing childcare are leading to financial ruin. Hopefully, people have insured themselves against these things, but many people under insure themselves because they never consider the true monetary value of their existence. Think about the financial challenges to your family if you were suddenly no longer in the picture. Would you want them to go down the road to poverty, or seek compensation for the damage done to their lifestyle. Yes opportunist exist, so do revenge seekers, but 8/10people are trying to make a responsible decision to provide for their families under difficult circumstances and a huge financial blow to their lives. Remember the legal system is not so much about justice as it is about settling disputes between people.
