"As you probably guess, I don't know anything about insurance."


Neither do I. The Jerger Schiavo Insurance firm looked like a sham to cover for something else to me. Guess, if they really had anything to do with insurance, they could have written a policy based upon whatever information they wanted to provide on Terri. I think that gives us another category of crime...insurance fraud.

What would Schiavo know about insurance? He was a restaurant manager, then nurse....was it determined Jerger truly was an insurance person?

If the policy was for very much, there would be astronomical premiums to pay. Terri's 39 now. Maybe when she's 40 there would be some substantial change in the policy or premium.

Jerger truly was an insurance person?

Yes. Jerger comes from an important family in the Florida area who scored big in the insurance business a few generations back. [insuring mobile homes is lucrative*]

More recently they have been taken over by PHILADELPHIA CONSOLIDATED HOLDING CORP .

There are Jerger connections with hospice, with nursing programs, with colleges, with programs to determine mobile home ownership, with Pennsylvania, with running as a sport

Schiavo's partner Jerger is a very powerful person.

Post 743

Richard M. Jerger, who was a director (with Schiavo) of Jerger & Centonze Insurance Inc., which ran out of the home of Schiavo's sweetie, is a holder in the PHILADELPHIA CONSOLIDATED HOLDING CORP which bought out Jerger and Sons.

Jerger and Sons insured mobile homes. According to an article I posted above, politicians partied while inferior homes were being built.

The insurers did not care about the safety of the mobile homes--they were cheap to replace after disasters.

The politicians liked the support they got from those in the mobile home industry.

PHILADELPHIA CONSOLIDATED HOLDING CORP stopped providing insurance to nursing homes at about the time they bought Jerger, and took over the mobile home insurance business.

Did Greer do anything funny with zoning for mobile homes?

[insuring mobile homes is lucrative*] because it costs so little to replace a mobile home - 1/10 th the cost of replacing a standard home.

Speaking of insurance, windchime, what would happen, theoretically speaking, if it were determined that Schiavo's suit ("on behalf of Terri") was brought under false pretenses?

I think Schiavo only bothered to sue Terri's doctors after there were questions raised about her having broken bones.

I could be wrong about the timeline....and Schiavo could have been thinking about a lawsuit earlier, of course. I have no idea.

But...

say, for the heck of argument, the lawsuit was mainly brought to divert attention from Terri's broken bones...

Who would get in trouble for being involved in that lawsuit?

Theoretically speaking, Would M. Schiavo have to return the lawsuit "winnings" if it turns out he was the one who hurt Terri and her collapse had nothing to do with a potassium imbalance?

Which legal minds were involved in bringing suit against the doctors?

Would they get in trouble for suing innocent parties, if they knew Mike had caused Terri's collapse?

What would be the repercussions to all the parties involved, if there were revelations that the doctors didn't hurt Terri and the parties involved in the lawsuit knew that?

Which judge handled the lawsuit?

Good question

I'm not sure how much restaurant managers know about restaurant ownership..but Mike might have known something about companies that insure restaurants.
