Good questions Canary! What does not get press are all the lawsuits where there is clear liability and the jury gives "0.00", zilch. Why do they have trials for weeks on weeks, then people read a 3 paragraph story of the trial and say "That's outrageous!" ?? On the whole, I believe juries get it right. I would rather an insurance company pay as directed by the jury of peers, as opposed to the masses (i.e. "us") being capped by the politicians who are supported by the doctors and insurance companies.
People like Vandy think that malpractice would never happen to them. For the loss of control of her bowels and bladder, total loss of sexual sensation, loss of mobility to do the simple passions of life, Vandy thinks $250,000 is "fair". Why don't we take up a collection for $250,000 in exchange for Vandy's right to urinate all over himself, and wear a colostomy bag around his friends, and let it hang it off his wheelchair. Why are some people so intent on getting rid of their own rights to jury trials to hold corporations and insurance companies/doctors accountable? Is it to protect insurance companies? Is it because of the phony malpractice "crisis" that does not exist in TN?
I will donate money for the paralysis if Vandy will take up the task. Who is in???
Well Vandy, guess what? if you support a "cap" at $300,000 (in exchange for total loss of your mobility) then that is all you could get. The doctors and their lawyers (whose fees are not capped by the way..) could stand outside the courthouse and flip you birds as you go try your case. Heck, they don't even have to show up and all you get is $300K. Is that what you want? Do you resent this lady getting paid for the harms and losses she sustained that were not her fault? Do you realize she probably offered to settle for less, and the doctors never give authority to settle? Wake up America!!! Your 7th amendment rights that our forefathers fought for are under attack.
