“JUDICIAL HELLHOLES” Report Unfairly Attacks Minnesota Justice
Minnesota legal group says the report—funded by big tobacco and pharmaceutical companies— is a disservice to Minnesota’s Judiciary.
(Minneapolis, MN)- The leader of the Minnesota Association for Justice (MNAJ) said today that the Judicial Hellholes 2009 report, published today by the American Tort Reform Association, is nothing more than “an annual trashing of the Judiciary that is widely discredited, biased and not based on any scientific or peer reviewed research.”
Michael A. Bryant, an attorney practicing in Minnesota and the current President of the Minnesota Association for Justice said; “First, it should be made clear that the report, funded by insurance, pharmaceutical and tobacco companies, is an ill conceived effort to create fear about our court system; and finally, goes completely overboard when taking direct aim at Minnesota’s Supreme Court by singling them out for ‘Dishonorable Mention’”.

ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL: MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SUE FOR MEDICAL ERROR
Minnesota legal group says the AP poll oversimplifies the malpractice debate and ignores accountability of insurers and providers.
(Minneapolis, MN)- The Minnesota Association for Justice (MNAJ) responded to results released today from an Associated Press (AP) poll which claims that a majority in the U.S. approve of stricter controls on individuals seeking accountability for medical malpractice as inaccurate, misleading and does little to enhance the debate on health care reform.
Michael A. Bryant an attorney practicing in Minnesota and the current President of the Minnesota Association for Justice said the poll, conducted by Stanford University and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for the AP, “asks the question in a way that the respondent is to believe that limits on malpractice accountability would substantially lower consumer insurance and health care costs in the United States. The problem is there is simply no evidence to support either outcome.”

Let's put justice first
As victims and families of those killed or injured by the I-35W bridge collapse struggle to put their lives back together, there seem to be two groups emerging from this tragedy: those who are putting justice first and want to ensure that survivors and family members are treated fairly, and those who want to deny justice by closing the courtroom doors.
Trial lawyers are often attacked for being paid a contingent fee. Under a contingent fee, the lawyer undertakes all the cost and risk opening a case, and then shares a percentage of the settlement.

Report reveals ‘pattern of greed’ - Katrina victims abused by insurance companies as profits soar
Minnesota Association for Justice joins call for fair treatment of disaster victims
A recently released report from the American Association for Justice has exposed how insurance companies have systematically denied policyholders' fair and just claims following Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. The American Association for Justice is affiliated with the Minnesota Association for Justice.
The report, “Pattern of Greed 2007: How Insurance Companies Put Profits over Policyholders,” reveals how insurers collected billions in premiums from policyholders and then stiffed them in their time of greatest need. In the two years since the nation’s worst natural disaster, insurance companies have reaped more $100 billion in profits. To view the report, visit http://www.justice.org/POG2007.pdf
