In response to LLCJ's comment, it is always interesting when numbers are thrown out with no support. When was the last time (or ever) a dr got nailed for 50 million dollars in punitive damages? Details are never given b/c the information is based on fabrication in order to incite the public. The same old lies get told over and over again until people believe them. Insurance companies fight obvious claims every day. Once again ask all of the defense house counsel who were just let go here in California if there are too many claims. Don't believe me, call and find out yourself. The "frivilous" lawsuit cry is such a crock since no atty that works on contingency would take such a claim since the liklihood of making money from it is nil. If carriers barely ever pay fair value on legitiamte claims, why would they ever pay any money on a frivilous claim? Again, if the lie is said long enough and loud enough the unsuspecting public begins to believe it. With the carriers having billions at their disposal, they can afford to spread the lies to their benefit.
