It already works that way. It is an exception to the American rule, you merely have to convince the court to rule in your favor for reimbursement (doesn't always work).I'm not gonna simp for Google, but I think there should be a law where any and all charges incurred due to autistic retarded lawsuits should be paid by the state and the retard.
All you need to know:
"Under this American Rule, we follow a general practice of not awarding fees to a prevailing party absent explicit statutory authority." see Buckhannon Board Care Home v. West Va. D.H.H.R, 532 U.S. 598, 121 S. Ct. 1835 (2001). "As we explained in Alyeska, these exceptions fall into three categories. [...]Second, a court may assess attorney's fees as a sanction for the willful disobedience of a court order. [This] permits the court to impose as part of the fine attorney's fees representing the entire cost of the litigation. Third, and most relevant here, a court may assess attorney's fees when a party has acted in bad faith, vexatiously, wantonly, or for oppressive reasons." see Chambers v. Nasco, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 111 S. Ct. 2123 (1991)
