Yesterday, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health released a study concerning an analysis of medical malpractice claims resolved by insurance carriers to determine what claims were supposedly frivolous and what claims had merit. The results are in and what a shock! The results showed that politicians make allegations about too many frivolous lawsuits without any factual support. ...
Have you ever been a victim of a crime in Arizona? If you have been a crime victim and the police arrested the criminal, have you asserted your victim's rights protected under the Arizona Constitution? Beyond what happens in the criminal proceedings, are you familiar with what civil remedies may be available to you? Each of these questions raise important issues. Fortunately, several...
Well today is tax day! I thought I'd wish everyone a happy tax day and remind you to not only pay taxes by midnight, but also, make sure that you know what you are getting for your tax dollars. Now is a good time to pause and reflect on our system of government. While we must pay taxes and receive essential services from our government in return, I believe that paying taxes also gives me the...
Some banks and consumer agencies are quickly realizing that identity theft fraud in Arizona presents a huge problem. It appears that some organizations are taking steps to help consumers who have become victims. For example, in today's Arizona Republic, I read a story about Glendale based Credit Union West which has provided consumer victims of identity theft with some assistance and resources...
I just learned that Congress recently passed the "Data Accountability and Trust Act" out of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The Act as drafted, requires so-called data brokers to formulate a security policy on how to handle sensitive consumer data. Also, according to the publication E-Week.Com, If a breach occurs, the Federal Trade Commission or an independent auditor would review...
Well, once again, I must rant a little bit about a bill pending in the Arizona legislature providing immunity to police or manufacturers of "police tools" from civil lawsuits arising out of the apprehension of people committing felonies. I read today that the Arizona House has given preliminary approval to House Concurrent Resolution 2049, a bill preventing plaintiffs who suffer injury while...
Under Arizona law, all public records maintained by any state agency, town, or city are supposed to be open to citizens and available for inspection during regular business hours. Unfortunately, some people would suggest what the law says and what actually happens are two different things. I read an article today from a publication known as the Explorer, which covers areas north of Tucson in...
After I recently posted an article on the topic of identity theft, the Arizona Republic came out with another article discussing the approach to fight identity theft proposed by Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard. Quoting Goddard, the Republic states: "This is part of a continuing effort to strike back against identity theft," Goddard said at a news conference, adding that his proposals go...
Today I read an article in the Arizona Republic about the risk of identity theft and the possible compromise of bank account information by various Bank of America account holders. None of us hope to become a victim of identity theft. Unfortunately, according to the Republic: In 2004, metropolitan Phoenix had the highest per capita rate of identity theft in the nation. If you suspect that you...
