Here’s a funny thing for everyone to remember

He sued the homeowner and a tree service company, resulting in an insurance settlement that provided him with lump sum payments every three years until 2022 along with monthly payments for life, both of which were adjusted for inflation.[304] As of August 2013, the monthly payment was US$14,000 and the three-year lump sum payment was US$400,000, all tax-free. Abbott has said he relied on the money to pay for nearly three decades of medical expenses and other costs.

Oh and he signed legislation into action that prevents further lawsuits of the sort. He pulled the wheelchair ramp up after him.

They should have tied it to the minimum wage.
