Your vote counts! Who you put in office really does affect your rights. Currently Indiana law prohibits jurors being told whether there is insurance coverage in a case. It also puts a cap on how responsible Indiana government should be for injuring its citizens, so the government can construct unsafe roads or fail to inspect amusement rides and not be held responsible to the same extent you or I would be. The government further seeks to shield itself from responsibility by only giving citizens six months to file a claim against the government from the date of injury.   Federal law affects how much company health insurance plans must be reimbursed, allowing companies to assert they should get more of some settlements or verdicts than the permanently injured person! Not having any health insurance is a real problem for many people and is something that needs action by our state and federal legislators.
