A Brand New Tort "Reform" Blog

The Center for Justice and Democracy has just started a new blog on tort “reform,” called The Pop Tort. In other words, yet another blog has shown up to demonstrate that when it comes to finding blog names, I’m not the creative genius to be consulted.

For those that don’t know, the Center for Justice and Democracy, takes on many of the usual canards and propaganda from those that wish to promote protections and de facto immunities for big business wrongdoers. Those promoters call this tort “reform,” though where I come from reform is supposed to fix things, not break them.

Welcome aboard and good luck. And remember, when the first link comes in from Point of Law…

You boys know the rules.
Watch your low blows, kidney punches, rabbit punches.
In case of a knockdown, you go to the corner I tell you…
and you stay there until I tell you to come out.
Shake hands and let’s have a good fight.

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog is sponsored by its creator, Eric Turkewitz of The Turkewitz Law Firm. The blog might be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.) As of July 14, 2008, Law.com became an advertiser, as you can see in the sidebar. Law.com does not control the editorial content of the blog in any way.

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.

Finally, we are not responsible for the comments of others that may be added to this site.
