NEW REPORT OFFERS MORE EVIDENCE THAT TRIAL LAWYERS' AGGRESSIVE SOLICITING OF CLIENTS POSES HEALTH RISKS

by: American Tort Reform Association

Washington, DC, January 10, 2008 -- Urging congressional oversight and more immediate regulation by state bar associations, American Tort Reform Association president Sherman "Tiger" Joyce today called a new study concerning Internet searches for medical information the "latest evidence that the personal injury bar's brazen trolling for clients is taking an increasingly negative toll on society."

The report, published Tuesday by the New York-based Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI) and posted at http://drugwonks.com/CMPI_Insta_American_Study_01_08_08.pdf, demonstrates that many Americans are dangerously misled when conducting Internet searches about illnesses or medical conditions from which they or their loved ones suffer.

Consider Safety Factors for Cheapest Teen Car Insurance

by: John Arnold

It seems to almost be a rite of passage that when a teen gets their driver's license, they start to talk to their parents about getting a car, and many parents, glad to be out of the role of chauffeur, are willing to oblige them.

You've got your auto lease deal all set when it hits you: "What happens if this car gets into an accident?" Technically, the car still belongs to the manufacturer or leasing company. But, you're still responsible for replacing it. That's right. Even after your auto insurance company figures out how much the car is worth and pays off the damage, you may still owe the carmaker some dough. And that's where gap insurance comes in. Though it may sound trivial, gap insurance is a must for leasing. And if you made a small down payment when buying a car, a gap policy can be a lifesaver as well. But first, let's look at why it exists. As the name implies, gap insurance covers what traditional car insurance doesn't. In other words, it closes the gap between what your auto insurance company pays if your car is stolen or totaled and what you owe the finance company.

How To Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft

by: PRWeb

Could you be arrested for a crime you didn't commit if someone else has used your identity to break a law?
(PRWEB) August 7, 2005 -- Identity theft is a serious crime that continues to grow. If you become a victim of identity theft, you may spend months, or years, trying to repair the damage. A compromised credit report can ruin your chances of getting a new job, a loan, insurance or even housing. It's true that it is possible that you could be arrested for a crime you didn't commit if someone else has used your identity to break a law. Unfortunately, many of the methods that thieves use to steal identities are completely beyond your control.
