As the Insider Exclusive Investigative News team travels across America producing the “Justice in America” Network TV Series, we invite you to join us ….as we uncover real stories about the issues that promote justice and fairness for injured people… safeguards victims’ rights… and the opportunity to help guide the hands of justice – Especially when people’s lives have been destroyed, families ruined, dreams lost, or widespread societal change and reform are needed.
These true stories are about real “ordinary” people… their real lives … always up close and personal and always unfiltered stories of unimaginable pain, suffering, and great wrongs… but also of courage and faith and the dauntlessness of the human spirit.
These stories are also about the trial lawyers who helped these “ordinary people” navigate a very complex legal system to “get justice” as they faced extreme life-altering adversities, and how the government and big business with their million-dollar PR Campaigns are slowing eroding our rights to seek justice….and making an end run around the civil justice system.
Our TV Stories show relief and vindication for shattered lives and seemingly lost souls. The compassion, warmth, love, and determination of the human spirit found within these shows are neither imagined nor contrived. They are truly personal crusades and telling journeys of what it means to seek justice in an American Courtroom.
IN THIS INSIDER EXCLUSIVE NETWORK TV SPECIAL, “JUSTICE in AMERICA – The Truths & Myths of Tort Reform” , we visit with , Liz Florentino
Now a lot of you have heard and read about “Tort Reform”, but really don’t understand how or what it really means…. or how it affects us “Negatively….every time we walk into the courtroom
So in this Special Network TV Insider Exclusive Documentary…. “JUSTICE in AMERICA – The Truths & Myths of Tort Reform featuring Liz Florentino”….We will show you how Tort Reform is making Justice more and more difficult for the Average American
And we’re not going to do it by words…or fancy language….but by inviting you along to meet our Guests and their lawyers, in small towns and big cities filmed across America who’ve had the unfortunate bad luck to be severally injured or victimized by Big Businesses…the Government….or Law Enforcement
These victims could be you or me one day….And if you are so unlucky, you will quickly find out that Justice in America is a hard won battle, where very few companies and individuals “Do the Right Thing”…and you need trial warriors who wage a battle with their own financial resources to get their clients justice.
But before we get started…just for the Record…let’s define what the heck “Tort Reform” means in simple language:
Tort is a legal term…. describing the system of compensation used by the courts to assign remedies, awards and damages for harm done by one party to another, be it to their person, property or other protected interests.
Tort Law defines what constitutes a legal injury and establishes liability (it is the civil court’s answer to criminal law).
Tort reform, then is the political term for the controversial issue of reducing tort litigation, awards, damages and/or compensation.
Now…Tort reform isn’t one single idea or law. Instead, it’s a group of ideas and laws designed to change the way our civil justice system works.
While each tort reform law is different, they all share one or more of the following goals:
To make it more difficult for injured people to file a lawsuit.
To make it more difficult for injured people to obtain a jury trial.
To put limits on the amount of money injured people receive in a lawsuit.
Keep in mind that throughout history, our civil justice system has kept Americans safe by allowing them a fair chance to receive justice when they are injured by the negligence of others – even when it means taking on the most powerful corporations.
When corporations and their CEOs act irresponsibly by cutting corners on safety, producing unsafe products, polluting our environment or swindling their employees and shareholders, the last resort to hold them accountable is in our courts.
The legal system provides justice to those injured by deliberate misconduct and deters future misconduct by holding wrongdoers accountable.
And this is why we all need to protect a legal system that is designed to protect us…and not one that protects Corporate Business or the Government over the common everyday American.
