No they have gone and continue to go well. I do appreciate the personal attacks instead of discussing the proposal though.
It’s jumping through hoops to ask for money before a procedure? I’m not suggesting further approval or medical necessity. Simply suggesting actually having the procedure to ...

Don’t people with health insurance all the time apply for money for a procedure? Seems to work well enough for the rest of us.

Once again, not trying to meet the red herring of claiming it has to lower rates. Simply trying to improve the system and protect the plaintiff.
My main concern is a plaintiff’s ability to pay for care a decade or more after a lawsuit, and after 40% has been taken away. This process works well in...

I’m good with a loser pays system, as long as Plaintiff’s counsel pays when they withdraw and abandon a plaintiff.
Also, still waiting on the flaw in my proposal. Classic personal injury attorney, attacking the person and advancing irrelevant arguments when they can’t address the real proposal. ...

I thought you guys were worried about your client’s best interest? Doesn’t this proposal help ensure their medical needs are met? You don’t really want to take 40% of funds someone needs for healthcare, right? ...

I’m an attorney and practice in several fields, including insurance defense. I also have personally injury cases.
What I’m advocating for is common sense in damage awards, and actually would harm me financially.
Do you have a legitimate argument against my proposal? Or would you rather just ...

[quote]Does the Plaintiff not get to hire a biomechanics expert, too? And presumably the jury would get to hear from both, no?

They are welcome to hire one as well. There is a split on the issue of even allowing biomechanical testimony at all, and it actually went to the LA SC recently....

[quote]And then a jury makes a decision on who they believe?[/quote]
Often, they will split between a reasonable number and the inflated number, still resulting in far too high og an award.

Posted by BabyCakes on 3/16/20 at 5:19 pm
It does not necessarily need to be tied to lowering insurance rates. It is a measure to reform special damage awards and to protect plaintiffs. It would also prevent a plaintiff from spending money intended for procedures, and then using health insurance, Medicare of Medicaid at a later time when th...
