Patients across the country are fighting for the right to take an incompetent doctor, or a negligent hospital, to court when they’re injured by medical mistakes.

Insurance companies, hospitals and doctors spend millions of dollars lobbying to limit their accountability for negligence and medical errors.

They claim that lawsuits by injured patients drive up doctors' medical malpractice insurance premiums, and that only limiting patients' rights will keep them under control. We know that greedy insurers - NOT injured patients seeking justice - are to blame for driving up the cost of medical malpractice insurance.
