The flawed system that allows companies to make millions off the injured

  Allowing settlement without even habeas-ing the corpus[1]? This is absurd. [1] A "writ of habeas corpus" is basically a request for a trial to pause until the person being tried arrives. Habeas Corpus is roughly translated to "you must have the body".

    No. Habeas corpus refers to the fact that the suit is brought against the person who has the body in his/her possession. It is a writ to demand a legal reason to physically confine a person/body and so is normally brought against prison wardens and such. While technically civil, the writ normally involves persons held based criminal matters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus

      Thanks for the clarification. I fumbled my terms, but I'm still wondering who thought it was a good idea to sell something without the owner's permission or knowledge.
