    Joe: have you ever handled professional libaility claims? Auto negligence is a departure from what an ordinary driver would do and medical malpractice is a departure from what an ordinary helathcare provider would do. There is no “higher standard”, it is simply a different yardstick. Besides the analogy in the context of tort reform is still valid.

    And, yes, I was with the insurance industry in the areas of property/casualty and professional libility claims for 15 years and have since specialized in professional libaility claims for 15 years.

    So when can I get some real reform in my state? I want lawyers to have to actually work for a living and I want judges available to try some cases.
