On today’s episode, Richard Duquette talks about Made in the USA Part 2. This series aims to present how local consumers and bicycle retailers can avoid defective foreign bicycles. Tune in to hear classic insights about the judicial system, how you can take action, and some practical legal solutions!
A Brief Recap
In the previous episode, you heard about how expensive litigation is for the hurt bicyclist or retailer. Also, you heard about how some bicycles are designed. The design process can be done in the US, but the products could come from overseas manufacturers.
There is also the insurance defense scam accusing bicyclists of riding negligently.
The Toothless Tiger
When you get hurt from a defective bicycle, it’s typical to call a lawyer to help you out. You could think about getting a fair share in court if the case doesn’t settle.
However, the judicial system is in need of balance. Some jurists are conservative appointees, and many come from the insurance defense industry.
Consider one local jurist for example. He has invested over a million dollars in different insurance companies. It would cause great concern if the consumer knows about it.
An Expensive Case
Judges know it’s expensive to litigate. The case can go on and ultimately grind down on the injured bicyclist. There is a great financial risk.
The system is good for ensuring a case has merit. But even with merit, it could still be difficult to prevail.
