Tort Reform Is A Lie!

When I think of tort reform, I sadly think of all the people who have not been compensated because of the chamber of commerce controlling our state and other state's government and arbitrarily and capriciously chiseling away at fundamental rights. There was once one of these chamber of commerce vigilantes that was rendered a quadriplegic, and the very laws that he bullied through his state house resulted in devastation to him. He now travels throughout the country talking about his sins and the sins against his fellow man and consumer.

Tort reform was lobbied the guise of helping our economy. It was a concentrated effort to take away the political muscle of trial lawyers and to deny money to pro-consumer, democratic candidates.

Unfortunately, good people elected politicians who turned around and harmed them far more than they helped. Under the guise of issues such as abortion, gay rights and gay marriage, good people inadvertently allowed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to take control of their state government. As sad as all of this was and is, the reality is, tort reform has dramatically affected consumer rights. 

However, at Linton & Associates, we are not going to stand by and let our clients be bullied by these major forces against them. We will apply what laws are available as effectively as possible. We will fight for you and bloody these bullies' nose no matter what, and we all know that bullies cannot stand to taste their own blood.

One thing that is certain with American business is at the end of the day, their uncontrolled greed and efforts for profits will do things to consumers that will require trial lawyers' skill. One example is the Ford Pinto in the 1960's. The executives gathered around the table in a plush conference room when they were told that if the Pinto was struck in a certain way it would burst into flames. They were then told the number of times they expected this to happen and how many people would die or be burnt in different degrees of severity. They were then presented with numbers that showed what a total recall of all Pintos would cost Ford. The decision was easy. They chose mayhem and death.

That same conduct has gone on since then, and will continue to go on one hundred years from now. The only difference now is that the businesses are protected by tort reform. The businesses control Alabama and other state supreme courts along with the Alabama and other state legislatures.

With all this against you, the consumer, you need help in leveling the playing field and fighting for your rights. At Linton & Associates we are here to fight for you.
