Do I know you? I say that all the time.

Colorado is working on HB10-1168, aka Trail Lawyer's Hypocrisy Act, that will make sure the lawyer gets a share of the medical costs as well as any damages. If health insurance becomes universal it will change the economics of personal injury law. This proposed law will protect their share of the pie.
