In the medical profession, when a patient (or family) sues a hospital, the

carry individual insurance - Is this not the case for other organizations as
well??
Hospitals carry huge policies and they have deep pockets with lots of assets
(compared to their employees). It's the flip side with a dog club. There
usually aren't a lot of assets in the club, insurance with adequate protection
is difficult or impossible to obtain based on low assets and in many cases
the individuals have greater assets to go after.
You know what I find interesting? You can have six attorneys in a room and
get at least four different opinions. (And they can all back it up with case
law <G>.) Ditto people in insurance. Is xxxx dollars enough? Lots of
different ideas about that.
