    What does compassion have to do with insurance? You want compassion go to some kumbiya feel good rainbow & unicorn webpage. This site is for insurance professionals in the insurance world. This settlement is as bogus as the negligence claims.

    Compassion has nothing to do with it. The doctors were negligent and, for that, a child’s life is forever destroyed. That’s not compassion. That’s FACTS, MARY.
    Medical care and 24 hr care is expensive. The guilty parties SHOULD be held accountable.
    Opinions like yours are what gives our industry a bad name. A bogus claim? Guess if a doctor destroys your life you won’t file a claim- I’ll be the first to tell you how bogus you are.

    But Mary is right, it is about insurance and if there was a coveed los under the contract. I have to wonder if the doctors were neglient or if the compassionate commies on the jury just gave away the farm

    Considering that only 20% of med mal cases win there, I’d say there had to be some pretty good evidence in the case. Seems Wis attorneys are very good at defending their clients. I have no problem with defending a bogus claim. But since the odds of success are so slim, I doubt an attorney would even spend the money on a claim that the odds are won’t pay back.

    While there are a huge number of bogus claims, there are the ones that come through that are major screw ups that leave devastating consequences. Actually, I wouldn’t mind seeing odds like that down here. We’d have a lot less of the bogus claims we have down here.

    I know the Jilineks. My son was born one week before Laine. Both of our sons have the same brain injury. I know firsthand the struggle that they go through. Laine and his family were not only let down by the hospital but also by the early intervention therapy system that denied him the full spectrum of therapies he could have received due to budget constraints. This money will never make up for the loss they have suffered and continue to suffer watching their Angel grow up but stay perpetually an infant. The money can only provide the best for Laine, to make his life the best is can be. Shame on anyone for even suggesting that greed had anything to do with their lawsuit.
