Legal Eagles, Beating Back the Vultures: the Lawyers of 9-11 Put Public Good Above Personal Gain -- So Far

Date: January 9, 2002

Author: Ken Ringle

QUOTE: More than a few of us predicted that a tidal wave of ambulance-chasing lawsuits after the terrorist attacks last Sept. 11 would make the famous litigation feeding frenzy in Bhopal, India, in 1984 look like a Sunday school picnic. That hasn't happened. Yet.

ABSTRACT: An interesting look at the economics, variables, and mindsets of personal injury/product liability trial lawyers. The stereotype is of vultures coming to disasters to make big bucks... will that turn out to be the case with September 11th cases?
