Saturday, February 22, 2003One of the questions the judge asked these twenty five people is, "How many of you have filed or are in the process of filing a medical malpractice suit, personal liability claim, or disability claim?" 12/25 jurors raised their hands. Just about 50%. I was stunned. At this point the judge individually polled each of those people who had raised their hands. There was a total of 17 various claims amongst these 12. These included: -asbestos class action. When the judge asked this guy if he was ill and receiving medical care, the guy looked back at the judge like he'd just grown two heads, and said no, just class action. -pending suit against a local hospital for death of a daughter, from injuries sustained in a car crash -case pending against the another local hospital for damage to an arm, I don't recall the specific circumstances -multiple car accidents -at least, 4 cases of breast cancer related difficulties -financial scam victims That's a whole lot of suing going on. posted by Sydney on 2/22/2003 08:41:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
