Illinois Study Shows No Lawsuit Abuse in State
A recent study shows that the ad campaign begun by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Illinois Campaign for Legal Reform and the Illinois Civil Justice League is really just false advertising. The ad campain attempts to argue that Illinois is a bad place to conduct business becasue of a plaintiff-friendly court system. A recent article in the Edwardsville Intelligencer demonstrates that Downstate Illinois is seeing a boom in building and construction and an explosion in sales in recent years.
These findings demonstrate that personal injury lawsuits are not forcing companies and doctors to leave Illinois. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Illinois Civil Justice League should be more concerned about the outsourcing of good-paying jobs than they are about lawsuits.
Jury trials are constitutionally protected in Illinois. Lawsuits benifit the aflicted and the injured and make wrongdoers take responsibility for their actions. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and The Illinois Justice League should take responsibility for their false and misleading actions as well.
Hurley McKenna & Mertz remains steadfast in its efforts to expose the fallacies of the arguments of those who attempt to limit the rights of its clients.
