Violating their rights to due process? Really? Or, is it violating the TBA lawyers right to suck (in a vampire-like way) $700 per hour for their services out of the capped amount, or 40% + expenses from their settlement?
I think lawyers, when dealing in insurance cases, should be subject to the same actuarial justifications for the revenues they earn, and “reasonable” profits they make, just as the insurance companies are.
Are you kidding everyone. Insurance companies continue to make record profits (in the billions for each comp) per quarter and they do not have to justify anything.
I also have a case that will be affected by FL Supreme Court ruling. I have a trial date that could be affected by Court ruling. During the 3+ yrs of husband’s death many people have talked to me re my case. Many have told me of their family members medical problems which should have been handled by an attorney to give them assistance. Large number of attorneys will not take a medical case because of high expenses (if they are on retainer) of this type case and the years it takes to get to court. My expenses will run in the $100,000 range. Most law firms cannot afford this type case. I have been told by a local attorney that only 3 attorneys in Ft. Walton Beach area will not handle a medical suit.
I voted for the cap – not realizing how seriously it would affect families who would not have access to legal services. Cap should have some modifications.
I can’t find an attorney to touch my case even though I have a justified claim but due to cap monies it wouldn’t be worth going to all the trouble. For 8 months I have suffered do to the neglect of a physician. I have had to indur emergency surgery to save my life and another 6+ hours to try to put me back together to a normal state.
