Having experienced carpal tunnel syndrome from NOT writing on many of the discussions in this thread, like to share an experience.

Last spring I concluded a six-year litigation.

Keeping it simple:

As we all know, money rules over the law, so that one can get settled very quickly. The supposed task of lawyers is to avoid liability, first for themselves, and hopefully for their clients as well.

One of the observations that I witnessed was that lawyers do their work between themselves on the phone and in person that their clients never get wind of. They trade case values back and forth, pick judges and venues that favor their litigation.

It is very difficult for lawyers to get past an insurance policy--at least in the case I was involved in--to get at the assets of an individual, even in the case where a Defendant has substantial assets.

The more qualified a driver may be, with a higher license qualification, that could be perceived that as a Defendant, they would be more qualified to avoid a lawsuit, rather than less. In other words, it's better to have a regular license than a CDL, for example, as a defendant would be treated as a 'better driver,' and open to increased liability.

If you haven't had the wonderful opportunity to be in a deposition (which for some odd reason I kinda like), it can be compared to a root canal and colonoscopy at the same time without anesthesia.

As owners of what are perceived to be tres cher coaches, POG coach owners are moving targets for lawsuits. Maybe you have seen a leased Lexus following you around? That could be a contingency-based Personal Injury lawyer.

Those folks may not be your best friends.
