The family speaks when Texas Bill threatens injury -related settlement borders

Rogers, Texas (KWTX) – Central Texans speak out against a legislative template that all cases of civil

The Law of Senate 30, written by Senator Charles Schwertner, also tightens the treatment of damage in civil lawsuits.

Since an 18-wheeler killed three members of the McCaffety family when it drove on the Highway 36 and only Kelsey McCaffety lies behind, Kevin Kennedy speaks not only for Kelsey, but for other victims without votes, Kevin Kennedy.

Kennedy said without the support of the community, the burden would have been too heavy.

“So grateful for the overwhelming support of the community, it is incredible. She received thousands and thousands of donations, not just money,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy, however, said he was concerned about crash victims who may not have as much help as Kelsey.

The draft law of Senate 30 could restrict how many Texas drivers could be received in court for comparison money, exacerbated what the victims could sue freight forwarders, and change how compensation in civil lawsuits are treated.

“They want to be on the side of the table of those who cause the accident and not only the victims. It's not just Kelsey, it is not just the McCaffety family – there are 50 accidents on the motorways that cause a death with a commercial vehicle.

Senator Schwertner, however, said that this draft law was necessary because he expressed concerns about the drug calculations submitted in complaints submitted in complaints and is referred to “nuclear judgments”.

“Health service providers who are diagnosed, are treated and treated on the invoice lead to excessive medical fees that later lead to inflated judgments, which we all pay in insurance premiums,” said Schwertner.

The draft law of Senate 30 would change the rules for the need for medical costs in cases of personal injury and limit how much could be claimed.

The draft law could also impose stricter rules for non -economic damage such as pain and suffering and at the same time set limits how much could be awarded.

Kennedy said that a person would have to prove that their grief is weakening, and if proven, an economic analysis would take place to determine the costs.

“Why should the state of Texas Kelsey consider the bad person and have the feeling that it has to be brought under control.

Kennedy plans to speak directly to the legislators so that the streets are safer and the victims can receive the right financial compensation.

“We do it for these others in the future to protect them. The Senate does not pay attention to them; the Senate does not pay attention to those who are injured,” said Kennedy.

KWTX turned to Schwertner's office to get a comment, but has not yet heard.

Kennedy said he planned to talk about the Senate Act 30 on May 7 at the hearing of the committee.
