Just wondering, I would hate for your personal injury-attorney pals and their doctor buddies to forego that extra trip to Breckinridge

I like how you would give up your own legal rights, including those of your children and grandchildren, just to stop PI lawyers.

Here come the tards with a legal opinion but with zero understanding of litigation.

You are giving up:

1. Your amount compensation for injury of death due to negligence of another
2. Your ability to litigate a case timely

Youre giving it up for the benefit of foreign billion dollar insurance companies who don’t give a squirt of piss about you or your loved ones. Your 5 year old daughter could be slowly burned to death in a fire by a drunk driver and they don’t give a frick. Trust me, I fought them daily for 20 years. You are nothing to their stockholders. You are just in their way of larger profits.

And what do you get in return for the bill? Nothing! They refuse to promise you any reduction in premiums. Refused to put it in the bill. Why? Because it will never get reduced.

Examples of legislative restrictions on injury compensation that fricked the average Joe for the benefit of big businesses:

Lose a leg on the job? It’s capped at 66.67% of approximately 150 weeks of your salary. Does that sound fair? The legislature said it is. You’ll never walk again but hey, frick you and your family.

Your 10 year old child is killed by a surgeon who was rushing to go on his golf trip and let them bleed out during surgery because he failed to see he punctured her intestine? $500,000 is all her life is worth according to the legislature. Why? Because millionaire physicians said their premiums were too high and everyone bought it. Who benefited? Billion dollar malpractice carriers who lessened their payouts. Physicians premiums are still high.

They are your rights to just compensation. You should protect them. God forbid you might need them one day.
