California has this problem, and as a defense attorney (I defend companies in employee-related lawsuits), I find it very frustrating! They are constantly effective in changing the laws in ways that open up the floodgates for more civil lawsuits.

I thought of talking to our delegate representative to see about legislation that would bring about whoever brings the lawsuit against someone and it goes to court, if that plaintiff doesn't win their case then they have to pay the defendents costs. But as you said our reps. are mostly attorneys so why would they want to legislate something that will hinder the attorney business??? But lets keep talking about it and keep pushing is what we should do. thanks for listening. I totally agree and am facing the same frustration.
