tort recovery versus collateral sources
I understand that collateral sources means they can double dip (this was explained in Harris.Tort).
Is tort recovery the opposite of that? Does that mean it does not allow for double counting?
In the wiki it states that:
What this means is that if a claimant has access to 2 sources of recovery, (tort recovery & collateral source), how much do they get from the tort recovery source, and how much do they get from the collateral source.
What exactly is tort recovery?

Tort recovery is what you can get from suing the at fault party. You shouldn't be able to claim recovery by suing someone if you have already gotten indemnity from collateral sources.
