Adam Bielsky October 21st 2002 AP Economics/ Wilson A TORT SYSTEM IN NEED OF REPAIR A successful New York plaintiff's attorney drives his $145,000 Ferrari F50 down the streets of Manhattan with a bumper sticker under his license plate saying "ALL YOU NEED IS AN ACCIDENT AND A DREAM." Living in a luxurious mansion just outside of Westchester County, this attorney, who manages a successful liability practice, flamboyantly advertises on television the slogan, "If you've been hurt in any kind of accident, you may be entitled to a large cash reward."
