The scans that show longitudinal fracture, compression fractures, etc. were not available to them. The blood gases by themselves could be taken several ways, without corroborative evidence, which Michael arranged to have hidden.

NOPE. The INSURANCE company that lost the lawsuit, is no longer in business. Probably had bad lawyers who couldn't win a case even when the evidence was in front of them.
