WHAT IF you would be like every true blooded American trying to make as much as you could out of terrible situation.
Jury Foreman got it right. Unless you were on the jury or attending the full trial how could you know if they ruled right or wrong.
For you unsuccessful insurance agents and brokers if it wasn’t for these jury awards you wouldn’t be making any more money than the typical employee in the food service industry.
I’m siding with those wondering why a 76 year old man is worth $10M. It’s a wonder he even received a transplant at 75. It’s not a wonder he died of complications. I’d have to see the transcripts to know for sure, but this one doesn’t pass the smell test.
As usual, something’s missing in this scenario. The drug they’re referring to has to do with mitigating stroke damage, not heart attacks. This 73 year old man probably had a pre-existing heart condition, and in spite of the allegations, lived another 3 years after the incident. He died of transplant complications which is no surprise. I’m glad the defense counsel is appealing.
It sounds like this guy should have had DNR tatooed on his shriveling lilly white chest. I wouldn’t blame doctors for refusing to treat high risk old people. This guy must have had a good life as he was retired and living in Palm Beach. I’d bet this wasn’t his first heart attack either. This guy didn’t die prematurely anyway, he was 76!!! My father died at 57, that’s premature. To give some old bag $10MM is just plain stupid and irresponsible. Our legal system is a pathetic joke.
Kudos to all the folks who have posted so far – why do they never put some of us on the juries. It would take an awful lot to convince me that the estate of someone that old should get an award that size, if at all.
Good point 2good, I wonder what litigation would be like in a nationalized health care system, such as Hillarycare, where they determine your life expectancy and necessity of care much like the U.K. system? Would he have been too old under the English or Oregon plan to receive futher treatment? If so, I guess you sue for as much as you can now because if the Feds takeover our healthcare system – cause you gonna die sucka, so you might as well stay home.
I’m just throwing this out as a hypothetical….what are your opinions if the only reason he had to have the heart transplant was due to complecations from not recieving the drug?
If died in the service of my country, my family would’ve received $10,000, a flag and an aluminium box. Of course the widow’s lawyer received 40% – if not more – of the $10MM award.

Yep, another award that has gone awry! I guess someone must pay, Claims Guy.
This just keeps getting worse!
Why would anyone volantarily do business in this state?
