I knew of a terrible case years ago. A woman was stabbed something like 20 times in the throat by her ex- husband. He kept suing her from prison. Al kinds of crazy reasons, he made up. She had to keep paying a lawyer to respond to each case, which is what he wanted. After the 20 stabbings, she couldn't speak at all. Her sister spoke for her in court, and then he started suing her as well. He also sued her attorney.
So it seems - you can sue for anything, even if you won't ever win, but the person your suing has to get an attorney and respond, or default.
Kinda' sick.
