Tort Reform Senator Seeks Relief in Court
In an act of irony (or hypocrisy), Senator Trent Lott has filed a lawsuit against State Farm based on their refusal to pay on the Senator's policy covering hurricane damage. Of course Senator Lott is a long time proponent of tort reform, basing part of his career on limiting citizen's access to the courts. However, what is good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander, as the Senator has gone back on his tort reform ways. He has in fact lawyer'd up with longtime plaintiff's attorney Richard Scruggs, who is representing many Katrina victims in their case against insurers.
Hopefully we will see some good out of all this, with Lott initiating some insurance reform at the federal level.
