People Over Profits - Tort Reform Information Site

With the political cycle heading back into full swing I expect to hear more and more about the need to alter or "reform" the tort law system. The modern-day tort reform movement is funded and directed entirely by insurance companies and large corporations. This is due in part to the fact that they are the repeat players in the defendant's role in the civil justice system - and are seeking to maximize profits without regard to the rights of an injured person or their family.

Personal injury lawyers, are also repeat players in the civil justice system as they represent people and families. The American Association for Justice, a national group of injury law attorneys, has sponsored a website People Over Profits, to educate the public concerning the conflict of interests between corporations and insurance companies over the rights of injured citizens.

As a South Carolina personal injury attorney James Snell is a member of the American Association for Justice and the South Carolina Association for Justice. At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we believe that everyone who has been injured due to the fault or negligence of another, whether or not the responsible party is an individual, corporation, physician, or the government, deserves to have the wrongdoer held accountable and a right to a fair day in Court.
