While I generally agree, that doesn't really solve the problem as you can't collect payment from an indigent litigant.

That's a completely separate legal issue.

What you will find, is that indigent claimants have a hard time finding a lawyer for frivolous cases when the law is written clearly.

Lawyers don't take contingency cases that they know they are going to lose, and people that can afford to shove a frivolous case through the system by paying a lawyer hourly have enough money to pay a second lawyer.
