Exhibit A: Why Americans Hate Trial Lawyers

They sue passengers in car accidents where the passenger is not the owner of the car.

One of my favorite examples comes from

Roskam and Salvi, Attorneys at Law.

The defendant in the case, Jennifer Peeples, was an active duty member of the US Military who was unable to attend an arbitration hearing because she was on active duty. Roskam and Salvi quashed a motion for summary judgment and Peeples had to file a request to not appear. The arbitration went against her from what I follow, but the case then continued for another year.

So Peeples is in the military on duty when she’s sued for an accident in which she wasn’t driving and didn’t own a car in the accident.

Supporting our troops–by suing them for, well, being present at an accident.
