It's not just airplane insurance. The insurance industry in America is in
crisis.

You can say that again, here's one reason why:

"... a settlement in Texas over unfair charges for overdue
video rentals, trial lawyers received $9.25 million in fees
and expenses, while customers received two free movie
rentals and coupons for $1 off."

That's not a joke. That money doesn't materialize out of nowhere.

Trial lawyers and a jury of "peers" are to blame. It might even be that
the juries are to blame as the jury selection process is absurd, at best.

Just pick 12 people and be odne with it.


Insurance for the hotel just DOUBLED -- and no one else will even quote us.

And, no, we haven't made a claim.
