I have a friend who's wife is a ENT north of Dallas. She said that since Texas passed it's tort reform a number of years ago her liability insurance has dropped in 1/2. I forget the numbers but it was significant.marksiwel wrote:Links? Her name is "The Wife" (soon to be Lawyer), i'll try and pull up some links.74novaman wrote:Links? I've never heard that argument against Tort Reform before. Not saying it isn't valid, just never looked into it.
I've kind of always figured the reason we never got any kind of meaningful tort reform is the guys making the laws are mainly lawyers...that and trail lawyers are one of the top contributors (especially to democrats)
I think its the insurance companies passing the buck. Saying "Our Rates go up because people sue doctors" and then they give a handful of cash to whomever s in the Whitehouse/Senate that week.
