These rumors have been out there since last year; and it’s starting to smell like complete manufactured bs.

From what I hear the rub is that a certain highly-connected Nola attorney (who also serves on the Board of Supervisors for a major Louisiana university) is also involved in the scheme, which has led to a huge complication of many city, state and federal interests. Just what I heard, no facts to back it up.

After reading this thread, I don't understand how the plaintiffs obtained police reports of an accident that didn't happen.

Police reports are only as good as their source. I could call in a police report on you right now. Cop would take statements from witnesses and make observations noted in the report.

Thank you, kind sir.

You’re a fricking douchebag Slippy until further notice.

It's not? Why shouldn't they be there in court? It's their contractual obligation to defend their insured, why try to hide it?

Slippy, what kind of work do you do?
I hope this doesn’t become another Perricone matter.

SIAP, but the collateral source rule exists because the wrongdoer should not benefit because his victim paid for health or disability insurance to protect himself in the event of a disabling injury. Without the collateral source rule, Health care providers will stop taking health insurance because they want to put a lien on a damages recovery- which means the victim gets stuck with bills he cannot pay until the case settled - which can be years or may not be enough to pay the bills (because liability insurance companies “discount” medical bills to what they arbitrarily decide is reasonable).
And, most importantly, health insurers (including Medicare and Medicaid) surrogate against the victim’s recovery. And will continue to do so even if the recovery is less because the collateral source rule is eliminated.
Bottom line is you line insurance companies pockets (both health and liability). And screw the people who bear the costs of some knuckleheads careless driving (or drunk driving) - specifically the injured person and the doctors and nurses who cared for him.
And the at fault drivers rates aren’t going down. Allstate doesn’t care if they paid a little or a lot - they’re still raising the poor shlub’s rates. If they pay less on a claim, they simply profit the difference. It’s their business model. Rates never go down, no matter how much the civil justice system is gutted by tort reform. Why do you think all this tort reform is funded by big insurance?

To follow on my previous post, there are ways to deal with insurance scams - which it appears the federal courts are doing effectively. My point is you don’t screw over innocent people by eliminating a long established system which effectively takes care of injured people to stop a few bad actors.
The courts have been doing this a long time - the collateral source rule is common law; not statutory law (don’t know about Louisiana’s weird arse Napleonic system). Judges will sanction lawyers and parties who commit fraud. And that includes insurance defense lawyers and their clients who engage in discovery abuse and fraud on their end.
You don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath water. The courts- as proven by OP - are dealing with the fraudsters appropriately.

My god...many on here have taken the insurance company drivel hook line and sinker. Insurance companies aren't reducing your rates...and they aren't looking out for your best interest. They want your money, and want to pay as little as they can. All of these supposed ideas...you know...to get those greedy lawyers...result in less for real victims and more fore the insurance company. Like med mal caps...500k since 1974. You think 500k compensates an infant rendered quadriplegic by a doctor on his cell phone? No...Vitter wanted it reduced to 250k....because those poor doctors have high insurance rates (while making 800k a year.) Seriously...when these proposals come out..and they point at the legal system...ask yourself "who profits?" It isn't you...its the insurance company. Every single time. Then ask...who is pushing the reform and who is backing them? You guessed it...insurance companies.

No one has bought in yet to the claims. But when federal court puts those orders in play, something looks suspect. Why are you so defensive?
Which firm do you work for?

We know this. We're not stupid.
We still would rather side with insurance companies than PI attorneys.
