That's exactly my point, Corbin. In the realm of law/personal injury/insurance claims, don't worry about losing out on mods $$$ unless the accident is your fault. Otherwise, always remember...
"You take your plaintiff (or victim) as you find them." Otherwise known as the egg-shell plaintiff. There is a famous case known for this when a plaintiff gets injured for what most people would find ridiculouslessly harmless. However, the victim in the case was especially "fragile." Common sense in my first years torts class would have me believe that the Plaintiff shouldn't have a right to claim or recover such damages that would otherwise not have occurred to a "normal" person. That was not the case, however, as the Court, and all other courts have concurred, that you take your victim as you find them, no matter how ridiculous or sensitive that victim might be,...so long as that individual can rightfully claim those damages through legitimate means.
