I think it is driven by insurance. My brother in law is a lawyer, and he was telling me about a case he had where two sisters were in a one-car accident. The passenger sued the driver.

She did this to get access to the insurance money to pay her medical bills. Since the driver caused the accident, her insurance company had to pay. She had no intention of getting any money from her sister, just from the insurer.

That might be what is happening here. The unborn child will have medical costs, and the mother’s insurance can help to pay them.
 
If the parents have insurance it will pay for the child’s medical needs anyway.

If the parents have health insurance, yes. And doesn’t Canada have universal health care?

So I retract. I don’t know why those wacky Canadians are doing that. All I know is what those wacky people in Oconomowoc are up to.

Not always true.
Our family has health insurance and auto insurance. If I am in an accident and on eof my kids gets hurt our health insurance does not cover medical care/treatment it is our Auto insurance that would cover it.

OK - that makes sense. I too thought that health ins would cover car accidents but I guess not in all cases.
Still begs the question though, right? Aren’t they classifying fetuses as “persons” by allowing this, and would that help make inroads for the pro-life movement?
 
How, exactly, did this kid hire lawyers to represent her? I don’t understand this at all. I’m also furious that that woman in Hawaii who smoked crystal meth while pregnant whose baby died two days after birth as a result isn’t being sued. Hitting black ice is an accident. We know this woman didn’t want to. But no one accidentally smokes crystal meth. Apocalypse now!

I’ll say that you hit the nail right on the head. It was an accident. How can the court not have seen that? Oh wait…forget I asked that. Courts are notoriously blind at times. :rolleyes:

Yes it was an accident…but the point more than likely is that this mothers AUTO Insurance would not cover medical expenses for an UNBORN child for injuries that resulted from this car accident.
In turn since the injuries resulted from a Car Accident her health insurance did not nor will they cover medical expensises due to this.
The only way this child could get payment for medical treatment that it needed was to SUE the Mother in turn sueing the AUTO Insurance to pay for medical expenses!

Lawyers for Brooklyn have now filed suit against her mother for damages suffered in the womb.* If she wins, the Rewega’s insurance company will have to pick up the cost of Brooklyn’s care.***** (SOURCE)**
Her daughter Brooklyn was born severely brain-damaged and blind, with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. She needs expensive, round-the-clock care (SOURCE)
 
This “wacky Canadian” would like to clear some misunderstanding with my American friends. Yes, Canada has universal health care but each of the provinces decides individually what is covered and what will not be. The drug costs alone could bankrupt a family as one needs to buy private insurance to pay for prescription drugs, eye and dental care, ambulance service, prosthetics and the like. The list of services being delisted is updated annually. Once a patient is sent home from the hospital they have to pay for all out-of-pocket expenses. If the child in utero were recognized as existing as a human being then insurance companies would have to cover those out-of-pocket expenses. Universal health care or not, a family in this situation is seriously compromised because of the blind prejudice of the law. This latest ruling is a one tiny step for mankind but a huge leap for the unborn.
