The one time that I was involved in a lawsuit, over an auto accident, my lawyer (working for the insurance company) tried to get me to advance a fabricated version of the event, and the other party changed lawyers a couple of times, clearly shopping a bum case until someone was desperate or unscrupulous enough to take it as far as possible. At arbitration, it was clear to me that no one took things particularly seriously, and that all would prefer a settlement, rather than the arduousness of preparing a case and the uncertainty of court. This was a bread and butter case: get enough of these, that require little prep and four or five meetings, and the splits from settlements add up. Get a big insurance company to hire you for the defense, and you have a regular stream of clients. These were not even bad people, they were just trying to make mortgages.......
