I read an article in NOW Magazine recently entitled: “Reasonable Doubt: are some lives worth more than others?”
The article discussed how, in serious personal injury cases that go to trial, women, low income persons and minorities tended to receive lower payouts.
Why? Because the compensation often includes money for ‘loss of income’, which is typically evaluated as being less for these groups than for (Caucasian) men.
