    I know being on a Jury can be taxing, but 10,000,00.00?
    Plus if you are Juror #10 and this case is still in litigation then you have perjured yourself and need to be taken off the Jury. If the defendants lawyers see this they can ask for a mistrial as well. The story states that the Jury is still litigating over punitive damage.
    Being an injured worker myself, it\’s cases like this that cause the Insurance Co\’s to be so defensive towards injured workers like myself. I know all too well how unfair they can be and they should be held accountable when liability is found but $10 Mil? When we rape the ones who have wronged us, We are no better than the rapist.

    Perjury is lying under oath, and nothing that juror No. 10 has done here is perjury, nor could either side move for a mistrial as a result of a juror speaking out AFTER the trial is over. The article says that the jury is still considering punitive damges because it was written weeks and weeks ago.

    Jim-

    You are correct about Allstate, State Farm and Zurich. I’m not familiar with Am Fam though.

    Not to worry though because “stuff” eventually surfaces, and sometimes unexpectedly faster than “stuff manufacturers” want it to.

    This award is another classic example of our badly flawed legal system. Given the prior medical history of this claimant and the description of his latest injury scenarion, how bad could the injury have been? Knowing his delicate condition, he should have exercised more caution in “picking up papers”. Seems he wasn’t too concerned about his own safety. In addition, I’ve seen quadraplegic cases receive less than 10MM in settlement. Our legal system doesn’t apply any “common sense” to case valuation. To make matters worse, this loose cannon judge in jerwater, USA is considering punitive? This sort of proves the propriety of the acronym IOWA: individuals out wandering around.

    I am the proof. 30 years as a fraud investigator and certainly you know I have dealt w/many many adjusters.

    I have seen the document fraud, fault codes changed, and claims denied by intimidation from the adjusters.

    What’s the difference between a lawyer and a vampire?
    A vampire only sucks blood at night.

    Ahh the joy of having roommates.
    I’ve had plenty of
    chicago roommate. From living with a stripper, to living with an alcoholic and a pot head, to living with another alcoholic and a coworker. For instance, the other day I came home to find the sliding door cracked open, beer cans all over the kitchen counter, and one of the chairs flipped upside down, leaning against the couch. It was like the Hulk had come through and had a party.
    So I wanna know, what stories do you have of past and present
    roommate sleeping?
    tl;dr HULK SMASH!
