It's not uncommon for the jury to give credence to the most ludicrous lawsuit on the assumption that it wouldn't be in the court system unless it had merit.

You can't change human nature or the jury system, and insurance isn't always enough. However, you can assure that you are protected above and beyond your insurance coverage should you ever be put in this type of situation. With some careful planning and advance arrangements -experienced attorney Robert L. Klueger shows you how to legally position your assets so they are exempt from seizure or shielded from a creditor's claims.
