This case will deny injuried parties to recover what they deserve for their pain and suffering. The plaintiff has incurred costs for his or her foresight to purchase medical insurance and has paid years of premiums. This benefit should not go to the tortfeasor. In addition, pain and suffering awards will be severely reducced and the injured party will not be properly compensated for his or her injuries. Do not let the greedy insurance oompanies miss lead you on this subject. This is all about the insurance companies having higher profits at the expense of the injured party. Hopefully, this case will be reversed to be with the majority of the jurisdictions in the United States. The consequence of this decision is that the injured party without medical insurance will recover more because he or she failed to obtain insurance. This is clearly not justice but the insurance companies continued brain washing of the people of frivolous lawsuits at the expense of truly injured people that will suffer in many cases pain and suffering and medical bills for the rest of their life.
I am the cynic. I don’t believe, for one instant, that there will be any benefit to consumers. The payouts saved, will only go to enrich the insurance companies. It will all be at the expense of the injured parties.
good to see that the state supreme got this one right. this should be something that is written into all state laws…
