From the way it sounds there’s nothing that can be done, I’m not surprised the Supreme Court won’t hear the case.
And I’m sorry to say it, but while these people are clearly fucked and it’s sad…Wal-Mart did pay the $470,000 in medical bills like they were supposed to. Logically, if the people get $ from a settlement because of the accident, isn’t it meant to pay for the medical fees and such? WallyWorld did pay those fees (even though they don’t need the money…it;s still a business, right?). I think the real shit is that they didn’t get more money in the first place, and that the legal fees absorbed $593,000 of the settlement. Why should the lawyers get over half of the settlement meant for the people that were hurt in the accident?
Except this woman had been paying for insurance from Wal-Mart so they were supposed to pay for her medical expenses. The lawsuit she filed was against a totally different company and it’s bullshit that Wal-Mart is allowed to touch that money. Basically she made her insurance payments like everyone else and when it came time for the policy to kick in it did, but then she had to turn around and pay the insurance money back using funds that she was awarded from the company that was liable for the accident in the first place! Thats some backwards ass shit. If things are setup that way then what was the point of her having the insurance in the first place?
It’s a horseshit policy on Wal-Mart’s end plain and simple.
And yeah I agree about the Dooey, Cheatum, and Howe’s too. No reason they should be gouging so much either.
And the policy that she’s been paying on apparently says that if you’re in an actionable accident and get a settlement that you have to reimburse WallyWall for the insurance money…yeah that blows asshole but she did sign it, right? I’ll admit that if it were me I’d probably feel the same way, but because of the way things work it’s just a terribly shitty situation.
I think too that if the company involved wasn’t Wal-Mart then this story would read a little differently…i.e. how the article glosses over the fact that the lawyers took even more of the settlement than BallsMart.
I think the reason the target is on Walmart is because this isn’t some company that’s going to fold because of a financial overburden place on it by some health insurance claim. 90 Billion dollars a year in profits can maybe tell their “high principled stance” to sit a spell, wouldn’t you say?
