I don't quite understand, Chuck. Surely the Insurance companies are a 'for profit' organization?
I thought that's what the courts awarded...for pain and suffering in the States? I know in Canada it doesn't amount to much, but in the States?
Surely if someone delays a surgery and it causes more injury or damage, they could be held responsible? Especially if the decision to deny a claim is overturned?
Would it not be like a doctor doing something that caused damage...is it not like a malpractice suit?
With all the misery floating around because of these claims being denied, I thought someone would have tried this already.
