Not all people who do not have coverage are dirtbags or freeloaders. By providing some form of coverage, our local hospitals don’t have to absorb all the bills they have to write off because of the uninsured. It’s millions of dollars for each institution that gets passed to the rest of us even the health insurance companies. I would rather support the uninsured up front than have service cuts from hospitals and doctors in my own town. Both parties are less than truthful!

We front out loads of money and time on contingency cases! Medical malpractice cases are the most expensive to prosecute because we have to hire expert doctors to opine to the malpractice. That is the only way to prove the case!!

The 250k cap is a joke and does not even come close to compensating someone who has been savaged by a negligent doctor!

People involved in auto accidents that have suffered maybe a 10th if the injuries suffered in lets say an auto accident have an unlimited amount that they can recover. Why is government protecting negligent doctors and why do they blame us for their screw ups? It does not make sense does it.

On another level, you cannot look at attorneys fees when you look at the cap. Bottom line is that you are not going to get anything without a lawyer. You could pay a lawyer hourly or by contingency to get you a recovery. If you pay hourly it would be much more than 1/3!

My point is that we lawyers, especially those that do medical malpractice like me, attempt to get our injured clients a monetary recovery from negligent doctors who commit malpractice. How are we responsible for the high cost of medical care! We are not.

A certain political party and certain people want to take that right away from you or limit your recovery. This is what Tort reform means!

No, it is not right. Medical costs are sky high and keep getting higher. $250,000 is not much money when the lawyer usually gets a third and costs. A lot of these cases $250,000 is a drop in the bucket.

Most people think that lawyers just cash in and go on vacation or buy a Hummer or “another” summer home. People do not realize the overhead that a lawyer pays out. To file suit is not cheap. The filing fees in Florida are steep. $250,000 is not a drop in the bucket if you are in Surgical Trauma Intensive Care. You get bills from doctors you never see. It is unfair……..my arm and legs are worth more than $250,000 to me!!!!!!!! A lawyer is the same as anything else……YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!
