In a strange way technology will make most of this a moot point in the next decade. The car I drive currently damn near drives itself and makes it much harder to have a collision. As this get s better and more available the number of crashes will go down. Eventually everybody involved in this industry will see their business decline on both sides. Ole Judas Priest song comes to mind "Victim of Changes" 
The TV lawyers everyone despises will have to turn their attention to something else. The insurance industry that rapes us will have no argument for outrageous premiums. Kinda of a win for all the good guys.

I'm still waiting on a lawyer to explain to me why I or any citizen should be fighting to preserve our rights to compensation for pain and suffering for a hypothetical situation that just does not happen in real life (i.e. child dying from a bowel perforation because the surgeon was late for golf). All the other stuff you mentioned is not worth arguing over when the basis for the original argument is a bullshite hypothetical.
What about a doctor cutting off the wrong leg during surgery? Or removing the wrong kidney and taking out the healthy one? Or you go to your doctor and the physician covering takes you off of blood pressure medication and you stroke out a month later?
Capped at 500k including your past medical bills.

What about when the car makes the decision to avoid a crash and runs over a child? Then what?

This Irishman owns that coonass's butt (yes, I know the issue runs deeper than just ambulance chasers).

More successful Southern states like Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Tennessee have no jury threshold. It stands at 0 for them.
So the only difference between Louisiana and these states is the jury threshold, direct action, and collateral source rule?
Once tort reform passes do you think the citizens will suddenly not be fat, uneducated, and lazy and that the atrocious infrastructure will fix itself? Will the insurance companies take those “savings” and make the public education system not a complete train wreck?
Who will be your boogeyman once tort reform passes?

It was a huge mistake that made it into the bill without anyone discussing it, then the bill was offered in the full house with two minutes before the end of session. It was an embarrasment.
I wish he would have signed the bill letting me get 1.5 times the health insurance premiums paid.

i think most everyone is willing to negotiate a smaller jury threshold, possibly even half (or even more), especially as long as they can ensure that city courts retain their jurisdictions.
i think most everyone is willing to agree to a 2-year SOL
pass the stuff everyone will agree with and we can see how the insurance rates respond. i have no idea why y'all want to just do everything at once without any real data to know which part will help the most

I would feel bad for the poor and middle class but I have a feeling some of them are the fricking republican for JBE type.
