BoSoxFan,

At what point did I, "use a perjorative to classify the global group"? Au contraire, if you read my post more carefully you may note that I am in no way tarring all solicitors with the same brush.

I wrote that any proposal to do away with the tort liability system for motor vehicle accidents in US jurisdictions would run headlong into agressive lobbying. In my view, those who would lobby hardest--nay even, scream the loudest--are those who profit most from the existing system.

Nowhere do I suggest that every personal injury lawyer would take up the same position, nor that all of those who would oppose a no-fault proposal are necessarily the more ethically-challenged of our learned friends.

As it is obvious that you have taken offence, I offer my unqualified apologies.

I should also qualify my earlier statement somewhat, taking note that full or partial no-fault insurance systems are in place some 21 US jurisdictions. Equally, not all Canadian jurisdictions have done so.
