Why are you mad at Walmart over this???:shrug:
Most ins companies will try to recoup what they paid out for medical bills. Her lawyer screwed up by not having that taken care of before settling.

I wonder if people who have shares in big coorperations ever feel guilty about making money off things like this?
The older I get the more I think that the investment system in America and the world basically encourages us to forget about our fellow man.
I know this is a very micro-situaion and on a macro level coorperations are good for the economy and growth, but with this growth, people should also be aware that people do get screwed.
This whole society is built on comfort and the plausible deniability of the suffering of others.
Damn, this Libertarian is starting to sound like a Socialist... :shrug:

I'm wondering if this was done, not so much for this particular situation, but to be careful and not set a precedent of allowing a victim to be paid twice.
I think it is easy to jump on the insurance company on this one (it makes great media) because the sitaution is so terrible. But the way our system is set up, this could (correct me if I'm wrong, lawyers) set a very costly precedent when the situation is not this dire.
Just trying to throw some contrarian banter out there...
