Gotta go with Madgar on this one pal. I’ve been handling commercial liability claims for 30 years so I’ve seen thousands of slip and fall cases. Many time, the claimants didn’t see what they fell on, and the property owner had no notice. As for making a comment on what’s presented, that’w what this site is all about. If we had the claim file and trial transcript, we’d be working full time as claims examiners. This brings out ideas many people never considered. Here’s some more.
I’d be willing to bet this good doctor from the land of computer support also had a disability policy that will kick in. Most of them have at least 25,000/mo coverage. Added to the award and bingo. It’s permanent vacation time. Although there’s plenty more money to suck out of the American economy by moonlighting or going into private practice. Unless she was an orthopedic surgeon,I question why she can’t work.
cost her full use of her right arm and she had to stop working at New York’s NYU Medical Center, where she was an attending physician.
The jury award includes $3 million for pain and suffering and $4 million for future lost earnings.

first of all, are we sure that she will not have any use of the arm after the broken elbow – i don’t think so! secondly, folks pain and suffering of $3 mil is too much. now, the loss of use? that is questionable, but truly is loss of earnings? how long will she be out and how much loss of use of the arm to perform her job? i can see if she is a surgeon. again, folks in a jury just love giving money away. jury of her peers: was it other doctors or a regular citizen?
“a jury of your peers” is joke and a myth. Anyone who has handled claims/litigation knows that. This involves a foreign “attending” physician from Jersey City. Guess what the jury pool looks like. I doubt there are very many non-foreign folk in Jersey City. Hispanics and Indians rule. She’s probably telling her offshore relatives tha “America be veddy veddy good to me”.
This doctor is an insult to “disabled” working people all over the world!! If a one-armed man can murder Dr. Richard Kimball’s wife and nearly get away with it, then she can stick a toungue depresser in a patient’s mouth and make them say aahhhh!!! Refusing to work outside of your specialty and unable to work are two completely different things.

Its not really what an elbow is worth, its whether or not the Port authority is at fault.
I’m guessing the port authority doesn’t have too many public boobytraps, and the doc will be back to work shortly.

Always surprised by what people are willing to write on an anonymous website

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. It’s Obama’s fault.
