Law to reduce damages for injuries

mercredi 9 février 2022 à 23:35

ALEC is pushing a state law (in every state) that would reduce how much damages people get when suing for injuries.

The lack of a national medical system in the US, combined with the general poverty wages, means that many people who are injured have medical bills they cannot pay. They are desperate to sue someone for damages to cover those bills. Of course, this practice creates a mindset which induces most injured people to sue for exaggerated sums, even if they are not broke.

The way to fix the underlying problem is to establish a national medical system and to raise wages, which includes promoting unions, and welfare benefits.

Then it would be time to adopt measures that tend to bring injury damages closer to the level of actual harms.
