This evening, I attended a seminar that discussed the gross, widespread, and deleterious myths about spinal injuries.
It is becoming more and more apparent that our fractured insurance/liability system elevates misinformation and manipulation about the consequences of injuries. However, to the other extreme, our tort system's suggestion that pain and incapacity can be adequately and equitably monetized is grossly misleading.
While I resist the effort of interested parties to throw out, wholesale, our civil tort law system, which gives everyone access to an individual adjudication of their case, I also see the perversity of a system that is not any more transparent, or just, than is the distribution of handouts to those seeking our charity at traffic stops.
