subject: When The Us Bar Becomes A Problem [print this page] A life filled with numbers may naturally lead to a life where collecting and recalling some of them becomes a regular thing. Amounting to $8 trillion is the federal debt of the United States where every American family has a share of $28,000. When this happens, it is scary. Terrifying is a number other than this. Passing the United States bar has been an achievement of more than a million lawyers.
No civilization has ever had to endure a million lawyers. When it comes to this many lawyers, we might not be able to endure it. Some lawyers are necessary for the operation of a modern society. Patent lawyers, contract lawyers, prosecuting attorneys, corporate lawyers, and defense attorneys are all important for the society. In terms of how much they serve society, in a class by themselves are the personal injury lawyers and class action lawyers.
For the religious people, there is still the belief in how God punishes those who commit sins. The only ones spared by the terrible flood sent by God thousands of years ago were Noah and a chosen few. Resulting from keeping the Jews in bondage was God sending seven plagues upon Egypt. Around the Middle Ages was when the black plague hit Europe killing a number of people easily. It is the personal injury lawyers in the United States which is the epitome of all punishments ever to be experienced by mankind.
The personal injury lawyers are for any cases that involve injuries basically. Take note of this example where there is a man called BC who went all the way to Brooklyn for rest and relaxation. An intensely massive pair of boobs that belonged to one of the dancers hit BC on the head while he was trying to get his R&R. Because of the sudden impact, bruises, contusions, and lacerations were inevitable. The compensation demanded by BC's lawyer for indignity, emotional stress, and mental anguish is $200,000. As 57 inch bosoms hit him, BC may have indeed felt some emotional stress not to mention some mental anguish too.
There was a Canadian in New York City who decided to go for some coffee at one of the popular Manhattan coffee shops. Of course he also went to the toilet whilst there. The man tried to reach for some toilet paper afterwards. What happened next was that his seat shifted unexpectedly causing his manhood to be clamped against the toilet bowl causing serious pain. If the one million dollar injury lawsuit was not bad enough, the man's wife is also suing them for the loss of his marital services for another $500,000. In this case it is interesting to see how much less the value sees the worth of his manhood to be.
Currently, society has been filled with people who do not man up to their mistakes. For example, one man from of Pensacola, Fla, spent the night drinking with his friends. This man was with a lot of friends and he drank a lot and afterwards he wandered off into the wee hours of the night where he passed out on the railroad tracks.
Unexpectedly, there was a train that passed causing his right hand to be severed. What happened next? It was argued that the railroad has been negligent because they allowed a train to pass while a man was asleep on the tracks. Paid to him was $900,000 in damages.
