Looks like there's still insurance to compensate this injured patient--Texas recently passed tort reform. By shepherding this resource, I hope that the state will keep coverage alive for the injured. That's what the insurance system is for.
But the lawyers won't be getting a windfall in the non-econ department with this suit. It's the lawyers who have lost--not the patients of Texas...
Why hell, its not like theres any economic loss associated with a severed unit. Why should this bloodsucker try to collect for missing his penis?
