You don't have a clue as to what the frick you're talking about.

Typical aggie talking out of his arse.

quote:

Abbott has fought criticism that such a settlement could not be achieved today because of lawsuit limits imposed 10 years ago that he helped champion.

Abbott has argued that anyone in similar circumstances could reach the same type of settlement.

Under the new laws, courts must cap damages for punitive damages, meant to punish bad actors, at $750,000. The laws do provide for medical costs, potential lost wages, economic damages and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

Matt Hirsch, a spokesman for the Abbott campaign, said the attorney general did not seek punitive damages in his lawsuit.

No shite he didnt get punitive damages. That's b/c it never went to trial. My arse he wouldn't have gone for them had there not been a settlement. The facts are that he has worked to make it harder for injured parties to gain compensation to the point that it would be nearly impossible to get the same kind of deal that he got back in the 80s. His own lawyer from the case admits as much. LINK Dude is a massive hypocrite. Period.
