what a betch

Or, it could be that the kid inherited a life insurance policy from his deceased mom and she wants a cut. Families get weird when money gets involved.

I thought I seen a news trailer early this morning stating the suit was thrown out.....

And indeed, she said the insurance company forced her to. They paid exactly $1.00 of her medical expenses, so she's out over $100,000 over her broken wrist.

"“From the start, this was a case was about one thing: getting medical bills paid by homeowner’s insurance,” her lawyers’ statement said,“Our client was very reluctant to pursue this case, but in the end she had no choice … Her hand was forced by the insurance company. We are disappointed in the outcome, but we understand the verdict.”"

Right?

Here's a blog post by a lawyer about the aunt and her case. Sure looks like she's being very unfairly vilified, when the real bad guys, unsurprisingly, appear to be the insurance companies.

Check out some of the tweets. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick; get a life, people.

not sure why they didn't pay and then try to subrogate, rather than her have to sue. makes no sense.

Thank you President Obama for continuing the Trillion dollar war which is now longer than WWI WWII and the Civil war combined. They are no longer Bush's legacy they are yours.
