That doesn't mean an ambulance chaser won't take your case and get you a settlement... driving up the cost of healthcare for everyone...

There is a cap on medical malpractice damages in Louisiana. If your costs have gone up since the late 70s it was not because of ambulance chasers in the medical malpractice arena. Cases are too expensive to work up and not worth the risk for that reward.

The game is rigged, it is nearly impossible to get any type of recourse against a doctor. Want to complain about a doctor? A team of doctors determines if the doctor was out of line. It is the police investigating the police. Politicians investigating the politicians. Same shite, different title.

I don’t know if they need an entire team of doctors to speak out but the attorneys need at least one doctor to come out and say there was clear medical malpractice and this almost never happens. Even cases where the patient passes away mostly go unpunished.

I’m sorry, did you post anything else?

"The system is rigged. A team of doctors determines......" The plaintiff atty hies his own medical expert, the defense hires his own expert, and then an independent physician is brought in. The biggest problem, for plaintiffs, is that most if not all plaintiff attys use call screeners to "weed out" those claims that are not of a big dollar potential: so much for representing the little people.
