During the legal career of an experienced Michigan personal injury lawyer, it is common to represent a number of clients who have sustained severe personal injury as a result of medical malpractice or a doctor’s negligence. Throughout the country, some legislators are trying to push for so-called “tort reform” that puts a cap on the amount that patients can receive from medical malpractice lawsuits. Michigan has long had “tort reform” which places such caps on recoveries. However, as many news sources have pointed out, this system leaves no safety net for people. Blogger Andrew Cohen commented, “A system where doctors are rich, patients have no guarantees, and only patients have to make sacrifices is unacceptable.”
The most important people to listen to are the millions of people who have suffered personal injury or died as a result of a doctor’s negligence or medical malpractice accidents. After going through the complex legal system, some of these people victimized by the results of “tort reform” in their particular state. Such caps should be banned, including “proposals like ‘caps’ on compensation for families who need funds to survive; one-sided use of clinical guidelines as a means of removing accountability for providers; and proposalsl to involuntarily remove cases from the jury system. Keeping informed, and opposing these arbitrary and unfair limits is important.
