Last week a study released by a Washington D.C. organization characterized Los Angeles County’s civil court system as an ATM for unscrupulous attorneys and litigants – and even went so far as to call the entire system a “hellhole.”
The American Tort Reform Foundation ranked L.A.’s civil court system as one the sixth-most-unjust — adding that “shakedown lawsuits brought against small businesses under the Americans with Disabilities Act and otherwise astonishingly excessive verdicts are again making Los Angeles one of the places to be for personal injury lawyers,” Tiger Joyce, the think-tank’s president said. “In the end, it seems everyone is a victim of discrimination and everyone gets paid.”
Court spokesman Allan Parachini told the media that the study was based on an “entirely subjective series of observations” and added that with more than a million new, non-traffic filings per year, it’s inevitable some people will be “unhappy with the results of their litigation.”
Ahead of L.A. on the dubious list were the whole state of West Virginia, South Florida, Cook County, Ill., Atlantic County, N.J. and Montgomery & Maconcounties in Alabama.
“Unfortunately, L.A.S.C. Central’s reputation as ‘the bank’ means more trial verdicts are appealed since litigants have little faith that the bench or jury got the case right the first time around,” Andrew Morrow said. “The seemingly inevitable appellate process adds thousands of dollars in additional legal fees and years to the life of any dispute in L.A. County.”
The disease maybe contagious — Orange County’s court system was also put on the report’s “watch list.”
