[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3549658, member: 24"] The city will do that in most cases anyways from what we've seen as of late. Doesn't change anything I said as it won't change a thing in terms of liability. Attorneys make their living off contingent liability and this will just open the flood gate to make them and insurance companies rich. Not really gonna change much to hold people accountable. 99.9% of the time, in either "FAA regulated" jobs, or jobs with where Med Mal would come into play, the attorneys don't typically care to sue the individual as they will sue the employer and their insurance policy. Otherwise, there's typically no money in it. Which is what will happen here. At best, LEOs will have to get some sort of professional liability policy, it will respond to an incident, if it's a bad one, the attorney just asks for the limits of the policy. In that case, the insurance company will pay, and everyone goes down the road. Sucks, but them's the breaks. Edit: also forgot, one of the biggest problems in healthcare is being sued by patients you didn't treat. The irony is that healthcare providers are being sued because they don't want to take on the risky cases due to being sued. On the flip side they sue them when they don't. It would be interesting to see how this precedent would play out with LEOs? [/QUOTE]
