For all we know, he asked for the cafeteria to pay his medical bills and the cafeteria refused. So, he does what he must and brings a lawsuit.<br /><br />While the lawsuit seeks damages of $150,000, this is not the actual amount of damages. It never is. It's just a high end number, so that the plaintiff does not limit himself. It's a legal falsehood. So, it may appear that he is suing for $150k, but he may very well have initially sought just his medical bills and the $150k is just a high end number.<br /><br />Frankly, $150k as a top-end number is pretty low. <br /><br />And to be clear, I'm a political moron, so I have little opinion or knowledge of Kucinich. I just thought I'd offer some legal insight.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831176156389777158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-6746187088480094182011-01-28T16:11:32.842-05:002011-01-28T16:11:32.842-05:00He should be able to recover for the olive pit in ...He should be able to recover for the olive pit in his sandwich. $150,000 sounds like a lot to demand though, unless I'm getting $50,000 of it, in which case it probably isn't enough.<br /><br />;-)Transor Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-11021354691205981182011-01-27T20:48:17.319-05:002011-01-27T20:48:17.319-05:00I wish Carl Pavano had done this for the Yankees. ...I wish Carl Pavano had done this for the Yankees.

Or they'll want to, no doubt.<br /><br />Of course sitting on a nice little nest egg already makes this principled move easier. But kudos to him for still having that money to fall back on. Many have lost it all quite quickly.<br /><br />All in all you have to admire him for this move.Onlookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742157936955263465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14963913.post-6849173081953327042011-01-27T15:45:52.818-05:002011-01-27T15:45:52.818-05:00Where is my 10 Trillion dollar pain and suffering ...Where is my 10 Trillion dollar pain and suffering settlement from having been exposed to our US Congress for years on end?EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.com
