re: Louisiana PI lawyers upset over new law

Yeah I am no fan of the chiropractor and medical doctors in Louisiana that want to paid by the lawyer, etc. It’s nuts to me.

My lawyer buddies in Louisiana have to have a million dollar account to pay all the leeches. But this law does nothing to address that.

BTW, I never paid a fricking doctor bill in my life like this, never referred a client to a chiropractor, tried to never have them involved at all, and tried not to ever be involved in medical treatment period so I could always say at Doctors depo.

I haven’t ever referred anyone to you, you and I never discuss any aspect of his treatment, you have absolutely no relationship with me whatsoever, or any interest in this lawsuit and all your treatment was medically necessary and solely based upon your training and experience and knowledge of medicine. And if the client listened to me, As a matter of fact you didn’t have any idea that there was a lawsuit involved with this matter until u got notice of your deposition by the defendant did you?

My only involvement was if they needed surgery to make sure they don’t go to two doctors that were not only shitty surgeons but complete assholes.

But then I mostly represented people against their insurance companies and have done less than 100 car wrecks.

I think the property and causally insurance sector made a record 84 plus billion in 23 or 24, solely because they over charge policy holders. If you support that …..

Thanks! See you in 2028.

Sure buddy, post your tax returns and I will post mine. Lol. The vast majority of us are normal, church going people, that work our asses off without big bill boards and jet airplanes. Yet the media and everyone seems to only know the big mass advertising guys. Worst thing to ever happen to the law.

I made a shite less than your typical mid level insurance company executive, though bro and typically less than any Allstate or State Farm agent that owns his own book, (at least ones I know), and I have 3 degrees.

This is actually a huge deal. Anybody have a citation to the actual bill? It’s not in the article.

if they do want to brag about their clients $800,000 check they should have to disclose the actual injuries that client had to amass such a bounty.

HIPAA violation. But they should disclose the true amount. I was PLF in a slip and fall and the attorney filed a lawsuit. It costs 40% of settlement funds if a lawsuit is filed even if it doesn't go to actual trial. Settlement happened 4 years after filing suit.

All of the above is just saying that the commercials are likely misleading. Bob Shyster got me $250K really means PLF got between 33% and 40% less than this amount plus expenses and court fees.

HIPAA violation

The clients have to consent to their likeness being used so that shouldn’t be a sticking point. I mean these billboards advertising these colossal judgements I’m sure most aren’t even the actual clients. People getting $800k+ I’m sure fall in the legitimate injury category and probably are in a great deal of pain/body deformity, they sure as hell aren’t smiling with a giant check celebrating like they just hit 7 7 7 at Caesar’s.

How is this issue handled in other states? Anyone know?

They're pissed they dont get the billed charges windfall.

Oh, and there are no more lifetime maximums.

Louisiana has shitty drivers, the worst roads in the US, rural people that ignore the law and start driving when they are 12, corrupt officials, high population of uninsured drivers and a very litigious population.

YOU ARE NEVER EVER GOING TO HAVE CHEAP INSURANCE

They charge you ridiculous rates because they are essentially a cartel and they can

So why wouldn't they charge the worst rates in the wealthier states like Massachusetts and Connecticut? Why try for blood from a turnip?

The majority of PI lawyers in this state are parasitic shitbags who have convinced themselves they are knights in shining armor.
