Basically about half of what I lost in wages.

Tort reform needs to happen two ways. One for these people who spill hot
coffee in their own laps while juggling Chihuahuas, and people who have a
valid suit, but who lose because of legal chicanery or laws written to
hamstring them.


IOW, one set of rules for Steve, and another for everyone else.

Hypocrisy, irony, and cognitive dissonance are the topics for today.
Discuss among yourselves.

Steve's problem here is not tort lawyers. It's the corporate lobby that made
Workman's Compensation law a one-sided deal that limits the liability of
corporations.

The lawyers are just hired mechanics. It's lobbying that he needs to reform.

I don't know what Steve's problem is, but I'm guessing its
relationship to lawyers and lobbyists is incidental.
