8. My point was focused on the arbitration

So many contracts common people sign force the consumer to only use arbitration to solve problems and don’t allow the consumer to sue. They do that to ensure the corporation wins most of the time. And when arbitration don’t go In the consumer’s favor, the consumer can’t sue (thank you SCOTUS).

In this case, the corporation lost the case completely, doesn’t like the results, then can sue to overturn? Regardless of the merits of the claim, the rules need to be even for both sides especially since the consumer has so little power. If the insurance company can sue to overturn arbitration they don’t like, then consumers must also be able to sue.

Forced arbitration is BS and should not be allowed. But consumers lost that right to sue several years ago thanks to SCOTUS.
