In 'Europe' also there are many damages you will be left hanging with if whoever caused your damage is not insured. If you think you're golden when something happens to you because you live in Europe, you're in for a rude awakening in case something would happen. There are many personal injury lawyers across Europe. They just don't make as much money because of no punititve damages. (Example off the cuff, was on tv a while ago: girl gets ankle damaged in accident at car show. Yes the foot gets the plaster 'for free', but here are some other costs that aren't covered by national insurance: travel costs, time off for parents, adaptation to the house to accommodate reduced mobility, wheelchair-accessible car, ...) Please tell me if I'm wrong, but I know of no social healthcare system that covers such costs).
