^ One of the more ridiculous lawsuits I've heard of. That woman should be ashamed of herself. I'm guessing the kid may not have such a close relationship with her from now on, which is too bad since his mother is not alive.

I thought the same too, but apparently, in CT you cannot name an insurance company in a lawsuit. You have to name the insured. Based on that, she really didn't have much of an option but to name the kid in order to get the insurance company to pay her medical bills. I saw the joint interview with the aunt and nephew on GMA. She's had 2 surgeries and is facing a third. Once again, mainstream media is sensationalizing with headlines.

Here's link to an article explaining it all: https://www.washingt...laborative_1_na

I'm not yet convinced of her veracity. Why is she asking her Homeowners Insurance to cover it? Doesn't she have medical insurance which would probably pay however it happened? At least the med policies I've had/have would have.

Good question. I'm not familiar with the insurance laws in CT. It may be that homeowners and not medical is the appropriate way to go. I don't know.
