But to go after a settlement that is less than the expenses themselves, that just seems too much greed. I think they should tap into those huge profits and change their policy to reflect that they review each situation and apply some fair principles of dollars spent versus settlement amount. Something that makes sense. I agree there isn't an easy solution but there has to be something better than this.

All insurers do it, not just Wal-Mart, so this isn't just another eeevil Wal-Mart thing. Heck, when my DH jumped out of an airplane and landed on his head, even the military insurance folks called me asking if there was a 3rd party involved in the accident (the Earth? The force of gravity?) that they could go after to recover the funds they paid out for his care at a civilian ER.<BR/><BR/>Now, that said--it would be good PR for Wal-Mart's insurer to turn around and donate the $420K back to the woman. However, if they do that for her, then don't they have to do that for everybody whose case gets subrogated? I'm not so sure it's as clear-cut as it seems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248929294041682868noreply@blogger.com
