I do recall being ticked off at how easily a broken toe claim was settled and the amount of the settlement - lump sum of $3,000. But some poor yodel with a serious injury, who could never return to the same job, would go through test after test, in and out of one hospital after another at the state's demand, and wait years for a decision.
On top of escalating medical costs, be assured attorneys are a major reason the system is "broke."
