Ambulance chasers don't do class action.

I've spent a lot of time considering this because I'm no fan of lawyers "taking advantage" of the law. But what it comes down to is that large multi-national corporations, especially insurance companies, base all of their policy decisions on profitability and return on investment. Because corporate decision making is driven by profitability, a system needs to be in place to protect consumers and make it more profitable for corporations to do what is reasonable to provide for public safety.

So, just how do you design a system that protects consumers and still allows corporations the ability to grow without undue regulation and government interference? How do you design a system that encourages a corporation to be profitable and competitive, but still protects consumers?

The difficulty arises because it is often more profitable for a company to harm a calculated percentage of consumers than to fix a problem. Just as water will always follow the path of least resistance, so too corporations will always choose the more profitable behavior. And that is why class action lawsuits are necessary in a free market where there is as little government regulation as possible. The collective compensatory damages in a class action - combined with the high legal expense - have a punitive effect on companies that damage consumers. And most importantly, class actions serve as a deterrent against those considering crossing the line of ethical behavior.

How I Survived an IRS Audit (and How You Can Too!)
Though I read the letter three times, there was no mistaking the grim news: I was being summoned to the IRS for an audit. I had an instant flashback to the third grade when I was called to the principal’s office. I didn’t know what I had done, but it must have been something bad.After a tense conversation with my husband, I called my accountant. “You have nothing to worry about,” she assured me. “We have everything in order.”The

The Death of Management

sidering crossing the line of ethical behavior.

Class Action Lawsuits are designed to make it more expensive for corporations to ignore defects in their products than to simply account for them by building-in the relatively small cost of damages claimed by individuals.

When the damages to an individual are comparatively small, the individual has no incentive to make a claim. It would cost more in time and resources than an award would be worth. Corporations know this, and take advantage of it. In some cases even planning their profitability around that very fact. That is why it is so very easy for a corporation to cheat consumers out of small amounts.

Those small amounts, multiplied by millions of consumers, multiple products and years of distribution add up to billions of dollars stolen from the public every year and create an environment of unfair competition in the free marketplace.

It is the punitive damage awards in class action litigation which tell an electronics manufacturer that a 3% failure rate on a cardiac pacemaker is not "acceptable"; that 1 in 600 space-heaters setting a home on fire and killing a family is not an acceptable loss; and an airplane manufacturer that the loss of hydraulic pressure on 1 in 1000 flights over 1200 hours between services is not an acceptable risk.

Class actions lawsuits aren't brought to bring large rewards to the litigants. They are brought to hold corporations responsible for their decisions and to force them to act in the interest of public safety. As such, it is clear that class action litigation plays a critically important role in a democracy and free market that desires smaller government and as little regulation as possible.

The alternative is to empower government to do that work which, of course, l

Over the last few years we have seen extremely high oil prices and most of this is due to supply and demand and it is not always OPEC, which is doing it to the American citizen. Sometimes it is the fact that we lack refining capability and capacity in the United States. But how can this be you ask as oil companies are making billions in profits?
