Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Help Everyone
Talk radio hosts and insurance lobbyists have made their careers criticizing people who file suit – as if using the courts guaranteed by the Constitution was dirty. Who is funding all this talk? People who get sued and their insurance companies, of course.

The way these chains make their profits is a recipe for dentist medical malpractice, and we’re seeing a lot of it.

The “Conspiracy of Silence” in Medical Malpractice Cases
Posted: April 17, 2015
You have heard the claims: “Malpractice suits are out of control”. “Good doctors are getting sued all the time”. And most of all this one “We should have damage caps to prevent frivolous lawsuits”. This consistent, relentless drumbeat of commercials and lobbyists is all paid for by doctors’ groups and their insurance companies. The goal is not to stop “frivolous lawsuits”–the system does a great job of that already.
