    This makes perfect sense. The city will have insurance for accidents. They bill him, he sues, the city refers it to their insurer and the insurance pays the suit and costs.

    It only sounds ridiculous on the surface.

      Imo having lawsuits as a normal expected step in the healthcare system is ridiculous in depth, not just on the surface.

      The victim might get compensated in the end, but having to go through lawsuits is just stupid.

      If part of the process is someone suing, I think it is ridiculous.
