I can only hope that her attorneys fees were not 50% of the judgement. Any judgement such as this where a monetary reward is for lost wages should include an award for attorneys fees so as not to further harm the person who won. Not that I wouldn’t want her attorney paid mind you, it just doesn’t seem fair that she should have to be out that money since she wouldn’t have needed an attorney but for the negligence of BCBS.
Attorneys have bills to pay. Attorneys deserve huge fees in these kinds of cases, in my opinion.
They have to pay in front as a loan to the client for all of the expenses of the case, in order to win it. Filing fees, court, reporter fees, secretarial fees, jury fees, and on and on for thousands and thousands of dollars advanced on behalf of the client.
I don't think 50% is excessive. . . . Sure the client needs money, but to get a lawyer to even TOUCH this case. . . Very brave and trusting of the lawyer to do that
Wow!! In one way, xlnt!! In another... will this bankrupt our hospitals, which are already really hurting by being forced to provide free healthcare for Biden's 50 million illegal parasites?
Had brain surgery two years ago. My insurance sent me an Explanation of Benefits statement. The hospital charged over $50K, Insurance approved $20K, I was asked to pay $200! talk about greed! I wonder how much the actual surgeon got paid
OK, close them down... but AFTER my upcoming minor surgery!! 😬
Seriously... we need them... and maybe TRUMP's HHS guy and a GOP House and Senate can regulate the hell out of them... once he deports ALL the illegals... the pressure will lessen...
So what? They will have to reorganize under a bankruptcy court, or get sold for pennies on the dollar to another, hopefully saner and more ethical management.
More likely an investment entity purchases them creating another mega corporation & they don't give 2 whoots about anyone that requires their services. A very sad state of affairs.
Especially as more and more people have family members and friends potentially affected by all this. And the tide is turning so those people who go with the crowd will also go along with the anti jab crowd once this builds up more steam I think.
I always thought that that official line about how many took the shot was b.s. Based upon personal anecdotal evidence I'd wager that the number is much less. Regardless, I know too many people who were stridently pro-shot but now feel the need to confess to me that I may have been right all along. These people will comprise the jury pool pretty much everywhere.
I've always been "good" about giving people the impression I'm a nut, and making them the exact opposite of what I advocate for. So far no one has said I was right, and my gut feeling is that no one ever will.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of TN had to pay $700,000 to someone they fired for not taking the jab. The damn has been breached!

Especially since every lawsuit is a crapshoot. I've won cases that I thought were unwinnable, and lost cases I initially thought were unloseable.
Typically, though it does vary, plaintiff attorneys reap about 30% of a settlement or jury award. See Lamed's excellent comment.
But also without that attorney taking the case when nobody what’s wheeling it could never had happened.
Thanks to the lawyer for risking everything and got it to the other said.
In other jurisdiction the losing side also has to pay the winning side's legal fees.
Wow. That is good news. My husband had said wait until the companies are sued for requiring it.
I am so thankful his company never did and we did not need an exemption.
It will be good to see college administrators being sued as well.
Yes! It is really a travesty what many kids went thru feeling like they would never have college without it. I know few who abstained. 😩
A good few of the kids who didn't have since abstained from life.
I'm confused as to your comment.
Karl means some kids who got the shot died.
Bingo! And they should. It's the same dynamic
They will be
Same!!
❤️❤️❤️

Not one drop of pity for these greedy hospitals!
They’ll charge you $500 for a Kleenex without blinking an eye. Make them pay.!💰
And hospital administrators should be tossed out on their a#$es . . . and that is the nicest thing I can hope for them.

I’m with you

Unfortunately, won’t happen in Michigan. Our governor’s daddy is a bigwig in Michigan BCBS.
Juries are funny. You would be surprised. If I am BCBSM, I would be worried.
Especially as more and more people have family members and friends potentially affected by all this. And the tide is turning so those people who go with the crowd will also go along with the anti jab crowd once this builds up more steam I think.

Yes. Well said.
I've always been "good" about giving people the impression I'm a nut, and making them the exact opposite of what I advocate for. So far no one has said I was right, and my gut feeling is that no one ever will.
what is BCBSM?
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan that also is being sued by several hundred employees who were fired for refusing to take the shot.
Lot of pressure to run Big Gretch to replace O'Biden.
Big Retch
The "BitchWitch"?? She is hideous, inside and out.
🤮
Wow!! I didn’t know that. I wonder if they both took the shot… or just pretended to??
Biden's meteoric downward spiral since taking them, implies he actually did. Plus, just after he caught so-called covid multiple times.

Yes Second Smartest Guy SubStack did a story on it all.
