American Association For Justice Seeks to Educate Through Web Videos

As a public service effort the American Association for Justice (“AAJ”) has recently released a series of web videos providing educational material to counter the one sided, often biased information that has become a staple of special interests in the realm of medical negligence legal cases.

It has become increasingly evident over the months of negotiation that “tort reform” may surface as an issue of compromise in the national health care debate. In a statement from its leadership the AAJ communicated its strong desire to educate the public, and the politicians alike, on the very real issue of injuries caused by medical error.

"98,000 patients are killed annually by medical errors," the group says. "That’s like two 737s crashing every day for a whole year. Would we blame the passengers or the airlines? Tort law changes won’t fix health care.” For more information please access the groups website at www.justice.org.
