"It certainly should not be."
Well lets look at the example
"Woman left with severe brain damage because an alarm tone was silenced and a Cardiac Arrest went undetected. "
The court would no doubt have awarded her very large sum of money.
Now consider a similar case where the allarm was detected but the woman suffered the same brain damage. Nobody was negligent. She gets nothing.
Same injuries very different outcome for the poor women in question
Is that a fair and sensible system? would not a no fault compensation system be more equitable?
