I'm sure it is a combination of the two. We live in a letiginous society. That fault lays with ambulance chasers like John Edwards. The insurance companies realizing they have the deepest pockets raise their rates to compensate for high jury awards. And the cycle continues. Those getting rich are the lawyers and the insurance companies. From there the folks complain about both the lawyers and the insurance companies. Its a vicious cycle.
