The Ohio Legislature has passed a new "tort reform" law which drastically restricts the rights of personal injury victims. Under this new law:
Failing to wear your lap and
shoulder seatbelts can be used against you, even if you were not at fault in
a car accident. Always wear your seatbelt for safety and legal reasons.
All medical malpractice
claims must be reviewed and verified before a lawsuit can be filed. The
review of potential medical malpractice claims is both costly and time
consuming. Since the statute of limitations for these claims is short,
contact Brown & Szaller immediately if you think you have received
inadequate medical care.
Limits have been placed on monetary awards.
Tort reform was passed in Ohio because of pressure from business interests. These laws are anti-consumer!
Do your research -- and vote against any limitations on the rights of the injured. Brown & Szaller, along with other plaintiffs' trial lawyers in Ohio, will continue to assert that this tort reform is unconstitutional.
