Rick Santorum's wife won a $350,000 award against a chiropractor - reduced to $175,000 - though we don't know why. The chiropractor caused a herniated disk is a pretty thin claim. I have often observed that tort reformers turn into plaintiffs' lawyers as soon as they have a claim. Florida's tobacco litigation is a case in point. Santorum now says his support for a$250k cap in medmal cases is a bit low. Despite his commitment to home schooling, Santorum has a J.D. from Dickinson which is now part of Penn State. - GWCRick Santorum’s Medical Malpractice Lawsuit - ABC News:
"Rick Santorum has often called for limits medical malpractice lawsuits, but back in 1999, his wife Karen sued her chiropractor $500,000 for allegedly injuring her back. Santorum testified in the case, telling the jury that the injury caused his wife pain and impaired her ability to campaign for him.
She “likes to be fit,” Santorum told the jury according to an December 1999 article in Roll Call. “We have to go out and do a lot of public things. She wants to look nice, so it’s really difficult.”"
