"I would think any Chiropractic Doctor on the stand for pain and suffering would be subjected to a rigorous cross examination..."
I think it's more along the lines of documenting the "pain and suffering" where Chiropractors come in. On the stand they can say they are licensed by the state to provide a service.....then just say "Mr. Jones came in every week for 18 months for that nasty whiplash pain....and is likely to require regular adjustments for the rest of his life"
Of course, Mr. Jones gets a nice massage, a bit of attention, so he doesn't mind going, because in the end he's gonna win the legal lottery.
I had a neighbor that did this.....until the case was settled, she had to take her son to the chiropractor a couple times a month. Once settled, no chiropractor. That's how it works.
"Once settled, no chiropractor. That's how it works."
Waitaminut. SHE scams for insurance money and it is the chiropractor who is at fault?? It is your neighbor who is the criminal.
I would think tort reform would be a better way of approaching this problem. I admit to being glib with that last answer...:)
