Good!

I've listened to a few interviews from him, sounds like Payton and the team doctors really screwed him over.

He said he told Payton numerous times that there was something more wrong with his leg than initially reported and Payton ignored it and trusted the doctors.

Turns out it was broken and Payton gave him attitude when he couldn't perform properly.

Maybe that cap could go away if every swingin' d!ck in this state didn't sue everybody within twenty miles whenever someone farts in their presence.

If it doesn't come to light, Greg Bensel, Dennis Lauscha, Ben Hales, Mickey Loomis, Sean Payton, and Vicky Neumeyer will have nothing to do with it. The suit is directly between the two doctors and the hospital system. The Saints and their personnel are not involved in the suit at all. They have zero say and zero liability.

You're pissin' up a rope if you think that this suit will affect the Saints organization whatsoever whether you think it is warranted or not. If Breaux' legal team felt like there was some to gain by suing the Saints as well they would have included them in the suit. It is customary to name every party even remotely involved in a suit. You should know that ... I know you do.

Oh, and they have dealt with bigger claims than from individuals with far more visiability than a Saints player. LOL!!!

I am curious, though, as to what he is claiming as damage. Misdiagnosis or even mistreatment alone are not grounds for a malpractice suit. There has to be some sort of negligence that causes injury or unneeded surgery as a result for a claim to be valid. Filing a claim is easy. Showing actual injury as a result is not. The fact that he was able to get a job in the CFL would show that he has no lingering issue as a result of a misdiagnosis, therefore no standing. There would have to be something else.

Maybe one out of every 200 cases ever make it to court. Most are thrown out for lack of grounds very early on. The small percentage that have some grounds are usually settled via mediation and never reach court. Yet, all of those still cost the insurance companies millions in legal fees even if the plaintiff doesn't get anywhere with the suit that they filed.
