Virginia Tort Reform Allows Insurance Company to Gamble
Posted on Mar 20, 2010
A recent medical malpractice case in Fairfax County once again demonstrates just how unfairly Virginia law treats medical malpractice victims.
A man suffered a perforated esophagus while eating. A radiologist using "tele-medicine" misdiagnosed him and an anesthesia group allegedly caused a heart attack. The man eventually died, leaving a wife and two children.
Totally unneccessary death. A jury carefully considered the evidence and awarded the family almost $3 million. Not a lot of money, frankly. The law took a huge chunk of that money and, in essence, gave it back to the insurance company for the radiologist. "Here's a present."
I've blogged more details about the untold side of Virginia's medical malpractice law. The side that is kept hidden from juries and, for the most part, the public.
Go here to read more about the $1.15 million robbery in this Virginia malpractice case.
Here's another case where someone who was supposed to be operated on instead caught fire in operating room. The law stole from her, too. This time it was $2.25 million.
