  Barring an act of Florida Congress, Florida's no-fault law will expire by October 1, 2007. Today a senate committee passed a bill that will keep PIP entact.

  Recently I read another article from an apparent lobbyist for the insurance industry making a strong stand against "lawsuit abuses." Well I again don't want to post a link to his article because I don't want to generate activity to that misinformation but I will once again paste my comment to his post:You think you could be a little more dramatic.

  Well the insurance lobby propaganda is up to business as usual. Today I read a post on the Sun-Sentinel website titled "Keep Target off Deep Pockets." The post is clearly stating that "Fabre v.

  This past Wednesday Hospital, business and insurance representatives attended a committee hearing to argue in favor of their anti-fairness and anti-tort propaganda. The debate over personal injury causes of action is heating up once again. The truth is these entities are "for-profit" and they only make money by collecting premiums and paying as little on claims as possible if anything. This...
