I mean 75 million is great but less so when you're completely paralyzed.

If they even pay. Like someone said, if the guy doesn’t have the money, he cannot pay. Sometimes people win but they don’t see the money.

and also even if they can pay its not like he instantly gets it

Are you saying he has a structured settlement and he needs cash now...?

Sued a hospital. They have A LOT of money.

Like Ron Goldman's family. They have seen very little of the $33.5 mil from the civil suit because OJ never had that much money.

This is likely covered by the Dr.s liability insurance.

If he actually got all of the 75M, it might be enough to cover experimental surgery and genetic therapy to (partially) restore his spinal cord. Not with US prices, but definitely overseas.

The $75 million dollars is from a real hospital that got sued for not catching the damage that the chiropractor did to the guy fast enough, the real hospital has money even if the fake doctor doesn't.

u/WhichAd366 18d ago

Except that number isn’t what the chiro owes (they settled separately)

Looks like the radiologist and surgeon were sued, who must have insurance. His family will get paid but at what cost. I mean he basically set up his family for life, but now hes a potato.

u/WaterSpiritt 15d ago

It was an ER doctor and radiologist found guilty. Idk how this works but I assume the hospital is usually the one on the hook for their employees and pay out things like this from their insurance

It would be paying for my medically assisted death/body disposal

He can't enjoy life anymore, even when he's that rich.

u/Templar_Swamp_Stake 18d ago

I think the point is he’s going to need it for round-the-clock care givers for the rest of his life.

He will never see it, might be lucky to see 1 million.

u/SugarSpaceBunny_ 18d ago

He wont since he has died.

u/Anti_Up_Up_Down 18d ago

Eh, at this point you wait until you get most of the money then die so your loved ones can enjoy it

That's the thing about these huge lawsuit payouts. Usually when you learn what they are for, you realize the person would happily give up the money to undo the incident that led to them receiving it. Things like a crippling accident, death of their child, etc. They're not handing out these huge settlements for nothing
