Medical Malpractice Cases Do Not Affect Health Care Costs
2010-11-04
In 2003, when Jeb Bush was governor, Florida passed a law to limit allowable financial compensation in medical malpractice lawsuits. According to those in favor of medical malpractice caps, a flood of high awards in medical malpractice cases forced health care costs to rise. Limiting the maximum possible medical malpractice award would result in lower health care costs, so the argument went.
Why? At the time, Florida medical malpractice insurance rates were the highest in the nation. According to proponents of medical malpractice caps, doctors and hospitals were passing ...

Domestic Violence Issues in a Child Custody Context
2010-11-04
As another National Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, there are millions of people around the country who are suffering in silence. Domestic abuse is one of the most underreported crimes in the nation, due in part because there is no clear-cut definition of what it is. California's laws governing domestic violence are very broad, something that victim advocates applaud and anyone who has been falsely accused laments.
Contrary to popular belief, "abuse" does not have to result in physical injury to be considered as contributing to an environment of violence ...
