No, that's not at all what real personal injury lawyers do. There are a few bad apples in every bunch, but both state and federal court rules provide for sanctions, including actual costs and attorney fees upon the making of statements in pleadings that are not well-grounded in fact or law. In addition, the lawyer can be disciplined by his respective state's bar association for unethical conduct. What a real personal injury attorney primarily does is his utmost, within the bounds of the law and the code of professional responsibility to ensure that a person who has been injured due to the legal fault of another receives just compensation for his injuries.
Now you actually know.
