All legal professions in most every state in the United States requires an individual or business to be licensed by a branch of the state government. All except one! Attorney's are not licensed by any branch of the state government. No the bar association is not a licensing bureau of any branch of government. When you turn the fox lose in the hen house, what do you expect? The system is in dire need of repair. Attorneys not licensed by any branch of state government is no different than your brain surgeon operating on you with a degree or license. Under the orginal constitution of the United States, attorneys can only represent those who are a ward of the court. We the people have allowed this mockery to take place. Want to fix the system? Put it on the ballot, all attorneys will need to be licensed and monitored by a branch of the state government. If then an attorney screws up, or misrepresents you in a case, you "SUE" the attorney for shotty services. Let’s all get the records straight.

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 have seen so many cases like this. It's especially sad when companies are laying off good employees, while spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend and settle lawsuits with no merit!

The one who files the lawsuit and it is dismissed or loses should have to pay for all court costs and lawyer fees. That would stop a lot of silly lawsuits. Things like this are tying up the courts and, again, just making the lawyers rich. This is like the lady who sued McDonalds because she got burnt with hot coffee because the cup did not have a warning on it....HELLO.....coffee is hot!!! or the guy who got injured while breaking into a house....he won is law suit...rediculous. They should outlaw lawyer advertising....websites like...Who can is sue.com...and so forth. This is now how the law was suppposed to be used.

I wonder if the pool moved the assests to a different corporation and leased the pool management and operation to a different corporation, if the hurt party could only have sued the managament company and the pool and building assets would have been safe. Also, didn't the pool have insurance to settle? we are trying to limit our liability in potential future lawsuits.

You must be sure enuogh of your case before you sue someone that you are willing to pay the defense and court costs if you lose. Of course, we will probably never see this common-sense system put into place, as Democrats oppose it - and guess which group's political donations go almost entirely to Democrats? Why golly gee, it's the trial lawyers. What a surprise. Simple solution: “loser pays” tort reform.
