Via Americablog:
I don’t practice in the worker’s comp area, but what little I know leads me to believe this would not be even a close call in Connecticut. I doubt that it will be a close call even in Arkansas.
Why do they do this? They have nothing to lose. Their potential losses are capped by a statutory formula, and they don’t have to worry about the ire of a jury or a judge, unless Arkansas law happens to allow for some sort of enhanced damages for bad faith, which I doubt. Any settlement at less that the statutory maximum is a win for them.
This is the paradise that awaits us when the right wing achieves its goal of outlawing personal injury and products liability cases.
