Why do you think Morris Bart has lobbied so hard in the legislature? And backed the current governor so generously? Start making those cases go to jury trial, and then you'll see only the legit cases get to court as trial lawyers won't walk into court on the hook for those court fees when they could lose... |

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. |

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.

And that's why the Saints might be inclined to cut a side deal with OHP to get this settled... |

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Delvin Breaux files suit against ex-Saints team doctors
If anyone deserves a fair trial it's Delvin Breaux. We did him dirty. I didn't know that he had been in a fist fight with Payton. I read it earlier so please don't quote me. There was obviously bad blood but whose fault is it? I'm thinking Payton believed the Ochsner quacks and rode his ass to get him back sooner than he should have.

I called on Ochsner in medical sales. That place was almost as bad as the VA, which was horrible! |
