Tort Reform and Our Constitutional Rights
Ed Walsh Speaks to
Community Service Organizations
Recently legislation at the
federal and state levels has been discussed and considered
. The proposed legislation would substantially take away
our 7th Amendment Constitutional Rights to a full and fair
trial by jury if we, or our family members and loved ones
are injured as a result of medical malpractice.
The politicians who are advocating
the erosion of our Constitutional rights to a full and fair
jury trial profess that there is a “medical malpractice
insurance crisis” . However, all of the unbiased factual
studies and data throughout the country illustrate that
there really is no such “crisis”.
In an effort to inform area
citizens and potential jurors of the truth about medical
malpractice cases and insurance, Ed Walsh has created a
PowerPoint presentation on this important subject
.
The presentation is entitled “Tort Reform and Your
Constitutional Rights” . You may review the
presentation on this page . You may also request a free
copy for your own use and education.
Recently the New
York Times and Crain’s
Chicago Business (pdf file) have published excellent
articles consistent with the facts contained in Ed’s
presentation . Ed has shared his experience and knowledge
on this most important subject with Lions Clubs, Rotary
Organizations, Kiwanis and League of Women Voters Organizations
throughout communities in Du Page County, Illinois.
If we all strive to inform
and educate our fellow citizens of the true facts and data
on this critical subject, our Constitutional Rights will
not be further diminished by politicians in Washington and
Springfield . Instead, we will protect and preserve our
most valued right to a full and fair trial by a jury of
our fellow citizens.
