Presently, personal injury lawyers, except for the few rich ones, are not making big money. They are discouraged. Their own state trial lawyer associations report dwindling membership, smaller budgets and less engagement. Whole areas of practice are nearly disappearing, as in California with its draconian statutory caps and other restrictions on litigating serious medical malpractice injuries, which limit compensation to $250,000 -- regardless of the severity of the injury -- for a lifetime of pain and suffering. (See my letter to Governor Jerry Brown.)
But there is one smallish firm in California that shows their colleagues just what can be accomplished for the American people by combining logical vision with enabling resources for the common good.
I'll describe what this firm has done for America in next week's column, and ask the question, what are many larger personal injury firms waiting for?
