Extract

I had thought that perhaps, one time I could appear here and say something without being contentious but I must immediately start off with a significant argument. I think that as a plantiff's lawyer in the United States I am one of a large number of responsible members of the Bar, and I say this in all innocence, doing a responsible job which I am sorry to say is frequently misunderstood here. I do not think we set out to bankrupt the British or American aviation industries. I do not think we set out to make fortunes for ourselves, or our clients. I think sincerely, that the objectives of the typical plaintiff's lawyer is to get reasonable redress for the poor victims of tragic accidents.
