Monday, September 30, 2002Mississippi juries have awarded plaintiffs $1.8 billion since 1995. The Mississippi law that allows plaintiffs to combine their cases with others nationwide, along with a notoriously pro-plaintiff local judge, has made Jefferson County (population 9,695) the wonder of the legal world: Between 1995 and 2000, some 21,000 plaintiffs sued there. No wonder Mississippi's insurance commissioner says 71 insurance companies have stopped doing business in the state. Meanwhile, the state’s legislature has recessed until October 7, still with no solution in sight. Maybe they should heed the advise of this constituent. posted by Sydney on 9/30/2002 07:35:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
