A pretty good article on InjuryBoard.com about driving, common sense and liability (see “Who wins and loses when a Ford Focus and a fully-loaded semi-truck crash?“). One of the things that struck me was the excellent attitude this personal injury lawyer takes about his profession:

Yes, I’m not ashamed of being a personal injury lawyer, so those who refer to us collectively in a negative way can forget embarrassing us. If we are embarrassed about anything it’s the ignorance of those who on the one hand criticize us and then run to use our services when they get a boo-boo. Of course the reason why they criticize the personal injury lawyers is because they were turned away by us and are angry about not being able to take advantage of the system to make thousands of dollars for a boo-boo; the very thing they criticize us for doing. There’s a lot of mis-information out there about what we do as personal injury lawyers and presently fear mongers are making a good living off of selling hate, so these bozo’s keep at it out of spite.

Lawyers get a bad rap–personal injury attorneys even more so. But the need is clearly there, responsible and experienced personal injury lawyers help more true victims than not, and you’ve got to keep up the fight of fighting misinformation, not just about lawyers but personal injury laws as well.
