PUT PATIENTS FIRST - 98,000 reasons why - MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Accordiing to the Institute of Medicine, 98,000 people die every year from preventable medical errors - and this number doesn't include those seriously injured.  This is the sixth leading cause of death in America, equivalent to two 737's crashing every day.

Trial attorneys see first-hand the effects medical errors have on patients and their families.  The best way to have fewer medical malpractice cases is to reduce the number of medical errors.  If less people need to seek legal recourse, that means patients are getting safer.  Patients that are safer also means lower costs to the health care system. 

Everyone can support this.

WARNING - Medical Malpractice Victims: Your Rights are in Danger

Insurance companies, the American Medical Association and other powerful interests say that our health care system is in crisis because of a rising tide of medical malpractice claims.

Their solution is to put a “cap” on the amount innocent victims of medical malpractice can recover for their injuries. In fact, “caps” are not the answer and lawsuits are not the problem.

Arbitration: Tricking People Out of the Right to a Trial by Jury

Buried in the fine print of most consumer contracts - such as credit cards, insurance plans and car deals - is a clause, which waives the buyer’s constitutional right to trial by jury.

These contracts mandate that consumers give up their rights before a dispute even occurs - this is called "mandatory, binding, pre-dispute arbitration." Arbitration was conceived as an informal, expedited process for resolving routine disputes between businesses. But when it is imposed on a weaker party, such as a consumer, arbitration can be used to defeat valid claims.

Arbitration has several unique characteristics that stack the deck against consumers, making it harder for individuals to prevail in a dispute with a business.
