Lawyers shop for clients. Sometimes they create lawsuits over issues that really don’t exist.
If you’ve bought a brand-new house, you’ve probably been solicited over construction defects.
This story is about a slew of lawsuits over Silica… a dusty compound similar to asbestos.
Quoting the article:
Judge Jack issued a discovery order that required each plaintiff to submit a sworn fact sheet regarding the plaintiff’s diagnosis. “The fact sheets revealed that more than 9,000 plaintiffs were diagnosed by only 12 doctors and that a substantial fraction of the plaintiffs in the silica multidistrict litigation (MDL) had earlier filed claims for asbestos-related injuries,” the study explained.
Every now and then, the courts get it right.
