Thinking about legislative changes needed in Virginia to address the housing shortage. There needs to be a reasonable definition of “harm” to determine legal standing for zoning lawsuits. Currently any change is considered harmful and grants legal standing for a lawsuit. My current thinking is that harm must be real and residential use of one’s own legal property and increased property values should not be considered harm. #virginia #housing #VALeg #litigation #zoning #TortReform

🧵 (2/2) I tried to sue the hospital, but a 2004 #Texas #TortReform law (pushed by Gov Rick Perry and approved by TxSC Justice #GregAbbott) made it impossible.

When she passed away 9 months later, I ordered an autopsy.

The autopsy revealed SHE NEVER HAD CANCER! 🤬

I tried again to sue, this time for #WrongfulDeath, and again, Texas' #Medical #Tort #Reform law made it impossible.

To this day, no one has ever been held responsible for her death. #RIPMom

Ugh! That's even worse: Patients paying with their lives for the screw-ups of the hospital that treated them. 😵

This happened to me in 2013/2014. Hospital screwed up and cost my mother her life. #Texas' Medical #TortReform law prohibited me from suing. 🤬

@QasimRashid Don't forget Gov. #GregAbbott of Texas, where #TortReform is always popular, b/c he cashed his settlement check long ago.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY, I had to rush my mother to the hospital just hours after her third round of #chemo.

Three days later, the hospital caused a collapsed lung. A week after that, cardiac arrest left her a vegetable (where she lingered for the next 9 months before she died of a second heart attack.)

Autopsy proved SHE NEVER HAD #CANCER. Couldn't sue b/c #Texas protects incompetent dangerous doctors from lawsuits in the name of "#TortReform". 🤬 #MissYouMom

Remembering my mother this #MothersDay who died in 2014 after being MISDIAGNOSED as having malignant #cancer in 2013.

Neglect (ignored by her PCP) resulted in pneumonia that hospitalized her. The hospital screwed up, resulting in a collapsed lung 3 days later. Further neglect resulted in a cardiac arrest 5 days after that. The collapsed lung hindered resuscitation, leaving her a vegetable until she died (cancer free) 8 months later. 🤬

Texas Medical #TortReform law made suing impossible.

@mtsw @MadMadMadMadRN Check tort reform that limits pay outs for medical malpractice to $250k in many states unless wrongful death can be proven. Hint: misdiagnosed cancer isn’t considered wrongful death in #kansas if the cancer would’ve been terminal anyway.

There was a big "personal responsibility" PR effort back when corporations were pushing tort reform."

The slogan really just meant don't blame each other instead of holding corporations accountable for the harms they do.
