Now if you had lived over here you could have sued the hospital and lived like a lord on the proceeds. Nowadays the solicitors hang around the hospitals hopeing for a disaster. I recently helped a client claim £85,000 for a botched test.

To be quite honest teddy that would be the last thing on my mind I just want to be active and enjoy what ever time I have left
I have just remembered we can't sue in NZ, we have what is called ACC "Accident compensation Claim" which means in the case of someone stuffing up you waive the right to sue and have to claim off the state, it does not cost to make a claim but you don't get the big figures that you get in the UK or the USA.

Blessed Teddy,
You know, there is a reason why solicitors are called *ambulance-chasers* in the USA........

I suspect I suffer from jealousy. i would like to earn what they do. The last one I employed charged me £200.00 per hour.

Honorable teddy,
A former acquaintance of mine works for a Manhattan Wall Street Arbitrage Company as Corporate Counsel - He earns $3600,00 an hour!!! And he always piqued me about my not attending Law School. No, I'm not jealous since he works 100 hour weeks on average and his wife is as mad as 1 million hornets in an aluminum barrel being kicked around...
Cheers,

*Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."
*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

But my wife is lake that and I don't earn a fraction of what he does. My cousin from America came over to take a job. just graduated, first employment, £90,000.00. with a Corporate law firm. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword.

As my wife says: Law School, like Med School and MBA is a mealticket...
