Tens of thousands of people die each year from
preventable medical errors. But rather than reform the medical
system to prevent needless deaths and injuries, doctors and big
insurance companies are lobbying to limit the rights of injured
patients to seek full recovery in the courts. Insurers and the
medical lobby should stop lying about the causes of the temporary
spike in malpractice rates and seek real health care and insurance
industry reforms that will protect patients and lead to lower
premiums for doctors.
Charles Roberts is an advocate for victims
rights. He is strongly dedicated to representing people who need
someone to stand up vigorously for their personal and legal
rights.
