1. A certain DUer may have a relative - an ob-gyn -
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 05:16 PM by Maat
who went up there to whine (testify). I've told him many times that we went through this in California. Malpractice insurance rates have stabilized, I believe, due to addressing insurance industry practice (think 'collusion'), rather than due to our MICRA statute (caps on liability). Please do not hold the relationship against me.

No one listens. Just an attack on lawyers who try to help victims, in my humble opinion. Anybody who has taken a torts class in law school knows the legal protections built into the system that work against unfair awards. For example, a judge may reduce an excessive award. Our esteemed pResident seems dedicated to paying back certain industries and trade groups for their support (and screw the public).
