Medical Malpractice

Is this a fair practice that the medical malpractice insurance companies follow?

If a person over 65 gets damaged by a medical doctors error they get very little $$$ to compensate them With this small amount of money they will need other family members to chip in money to cover the cost of living with their malpractice injury. Even if the injured person was in great physical shape before the injury Don't these people realize that in the future they will also past age 65 and be subject to these same conditions

1. Part of any settlement for a claim would be lost future earnings. For someone over 65, that number is somewhere between zero and very little. They do get some compensation, but not as much as someone who was, say, 30.
2. Insurance compensation is supposed to cover real financial dmages. You had poor legal representation.
3. Insurance isn't about individuals. It's about money. If a company makes more money they don't care who they screw in the process. Anyone that has ever dealt with an insurance company knows this.
