Contingent commisions have been a part of the compensation formula for Insurance companies and their agents for over 100 years. This formula exists in similiar formats in most industies. Does Coke compensate the distributer that sells one case of coke a year, the same as they would compensate the distributer that sells 2 million cases a year? No, that is correct.

I have an idea, lets do an investigation on how lawyers are compensated. Perhaps they should recieve a flat $ 200 fee for every case they take, regardless of the complexities or parameters of that case. Maybe 40% is too large a % of a settlement. Better yet, lets have them pay the defense costs of the defendents in frivilous lawsuits, that is common sense, we havent seen an investigation into that, have we. Lets also investigate every Risk Manager and how they are compensated, and how the sales people in their organization's compensation plans are handled. Cheers to Mr. Kelly & Liberty Mutual for standing up to this witch hunt. Our compensation is not your business and yours is not my business. Please let the Market decide! Thank you.
