Consider what used to be the poster-boy for the lawyers blaming the insurance system here:
$6 million verdict that was still being fought in the courts many years later rather than simply paid.
Oops, the reality: Trial #1: The woman was determined to be 90% at fault for her baby's problems, the law here doesn't let you collect if you're found more than 50% at fault. Trial #2, this time filed in the name of the baby. Still 90% to the woman. However, the jury assigned 5% to one doctor who examined her once several hours before the birth. He's the only one with anything, the whole $6 million verdict landed on him.
If that's what the lawyers consider a good case...
