Philadelphia Trial Lawyers want to keep all of Pennsylvania's courthouse doors open to those Philadelphia and Pennsylvania injured victims who decide to pursue a measure of justice through our civil justice system. Whether a personal injury plaintiff brings a law suit for medical malpractice, product liability, birth injury or car accident, for the most part, state legislatures have the final say with regard to tort reform in their respective states.
However, tort reform has been brought into the national spotlight. As the national healthcare reform debate rages on, the opposition looks to tort reform as a powerful bargaining chip. Recently, President Obama said "he wants to look at a 'range of ideas' to 'put patient safety first and let doctors focus on practicing medicine.'' Such a comment, in addition to other rumors circulating in the blogosphere has those of us who strive to keep our courthouse doors open, worried. The attorneys at Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck have been fighting for the rights of injured victims of medical malpractice, product liability, birth injury or car accidents for decades in Pennsylvania. Please, reach out to your Senator or Congressperson on the Hill and voice your opinion - the courthouse doors must stay open.
