The sharp increase in MALPRACTICE CLAIMS, that needed to be PAID, is PRIMARILY due to each state’s Bar Associations who simply SLAP the hands of those wayward attorneys who screw their clients instead of rendering serious disciplinary action..OR DISBARRMENT.. Until the insurance companies push for a complete disciplinary overhaiul which should include serious disciplinary actions on the first offense, the rise in legal claims will continue to rise….
Its very simple. Tort Reform protection is good for Republicans like Doctors but is bad for Democrats like lawyers. There is an assumption that most lawyers are Democrats and therefore deserve to be slaughtered in the GOP’s culture war. The only lawyers conservatives have any respect for are the Prosecutors. Some of the more sophisticated conservatives may feel that some who are associated with large firms or defend insurers can be trusted but that is as far as it goes. The only reason that Rush doesn’t castigate lawyers is that too many of his relatives are lawyers.
