John Boland and Timothy Cordes welcome Lauren Zelt of Protecting American Consumers Together (PACT) to Bald, Blind, and Buddies.
Lauren expands on the hidden costs of lawsuit abuse highlighting staged accidents and unnecessary medical procedures as examples. She reviews state successes in beginning to address these problems.
Tim and John wonder if there are ways to hold the lawyers who perpetrate fraud accountable. Tim reminds us how much the fear of legal action drags on healthcare providers and indirectly raises costs.
Lauren reviews warning signs for people who need to engage legal help after an accident.
Lauren’s hero is Governor Brian Kemp who signed a lawsuit reform bill in Georgia.
