You are not just a number or just another case to us. We are interested in you and we are looking out for your bests interests. If the insurance company will not agree to a fair and equitable resolution of your claim, we will file a law suit and protect your rights and interests through the American judicial system.

On the contrary, Craig Murphy and the lawyers at “Murphy & Murphy Law Offices” are skilled and experienced trial lawyers. We have the skill, knowledge and experience required to successfully take your case to trial if that is necessary. In many instances, the insurance companies will not offer a fair settlement until they know that your case has been prepared for trial and that your attorneys are ready, willing and able to take your case to trial before a jury of your peers. If you do not hire skilled and experienced trial lawyers to handle your case, the insurance company will not offer a fair settlement. In those instances, your lawyer will suggest that you take a pennies on the dollar settlement or the lawyer will withdraw from your case at the last minute. You will then be faced with a very difficult situation where you are involved in litigation and you do not have a lawyer to represent you.

Today Craig Murphy of “Murphy & Murphy Law Offices” saw a new report that said regular use of tanning beds increases the chances of melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, by three of four times. Craig Murphy and “Murphy & Murphy Law Offices” are looking out for you. If you use tanning beds, look up the reseach for your self. Then ask yourself, “is it worth the increased risk of deadly skin cancer to use a tanning bed?” The obvious answer is no. Stop using the tanning beds now. Do not go back. How can a tan be worth one moment taken from your life? How can a tan be worth months of pain and suffering with deadly cancer? How can a tan be worth the stress and mental anguish knowing that you have deadly skin cancer and that you have a very short time to live? If you have kids, how can a tan replace the importance of the kids having you in their lives? How could you face putting your kids through cancer treatment and the torment of losing a parent to skin cancer?

If you are not a parent but instead are an adolescent or young adult, stop using tanning beds. You have your whole life in front of you. You have everything in the world to look forward to. Do not risk cutting your life short for a tan. In all aspects of life, you will never eliminate the risk of injuries or harm. Sickness and disease are part of life.

If you believe in limited government and protecting the Constitution then you are against tort reform. How can that be? Isn’t tort reform a plank of those advocating limited government and the preservation of the Constitution? A close analysis shows an inconsistency that runs contrary to the fundamental principles being espoused. Limited government means keeping government out of the lives of the people. Federal government, it is argued, should be limited to the enumerated powers set forth in the Constitution. If it is not enumerated, that is spelled out, then it is a power not given to the federal government by the Constitution and it should not be exercised by the federal government. At a minimum, the power to regulate such unenumerated powers should be left to the individual states.

In addition to the federal government not taking powers not enumerated under the Constitution, it is argued that actions to limit the rights afforded under the Constitution are not only unconstitutional, they are specifically taking away our rights. I agree. Yet most advocates of limited government and protecting the Constitution are in favor of tort reform. Tort reform means limiting the rights of our citizens to bring certain kinds of law suits and limiting the amount of damages that can be awarded to someone who has been injured due to negligence or other wrongful behavior. In essence, creating a protected class. That is contrary to the Constitution. It is contrary to limited government.

The Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by a jury. Tort reform limits that Constitutional right. Tort reforms seek to take away the Constitutional right of injured people to have their case decided by a jury. Tort reform also wants to limit the authority and power of the jury if access to the courthouse has not been blocked or limited. In either instance, the tort reform goal is to have the federal government step in (bigger government) and take away specific rights guaranteed by the Constitution (not protecting the Constitution). Clearly goals adverse to those of us who believe in limited federal government and the sanctity of the Constitution.

Tort reform also poses a more fundamental question. Why is it that juries can be trusted to decide the most important and complex criminal and business cases but in the context of an injury claim juries can not be trusted to make the right decision? A jury is capable of deciding life and death issues in criminal cases but can not be trusted to decide an injury case? A jury can decide multi-billion dollar business cases, fraud cases, infringement cases, but not injury cases? Juries are just as capable in injury cases as in any other case. Instead, the push for tort reform stems from powerful business interests and insurance companies that are seeking special treatment and protections through high paid lobbyists and well funded, multi-million dollar marketing campaigns.

As a country, we should think long and hard before we give away our constitutional rights. The jury system works. It is a cornerstone of our democracy. The rights guaranteed by the Constitution should not be limited or infringed upon. Think about it. After some thought, perhaps you will agree. Especially if you truely believe in limited government and protecting the Constitution.

I am getting ready for the attacks to begin. With the looming economic disaster to the Gulf coast area just beginning, I anticipate that the giant corporations and insurance companies will start attacking the little guys. You know, the people whose livelihoods have been ruined or injured by the oil spill. The economic damage can stem from fishermen to people selling T-Shirts on local beaches. It could include restaurants, hotels, car rental companies, to every kind of small business that depends on tourists during the summer. The oil spill will affect them all. Over the weekend, British Petroleum and its insurance companies showed their hand at howtheyt want to deal with the people. Quick, pennies on the dollar settlements. Avoid as much responsibility as possible. Has there been any out cry or press about it? No. Oil companies have some of the largest advertising budgets in the world. Do not expect any adverse press on their tactics.

However, what you should expect are attacks on the little guys. The people and the businesses most damaged and harmed. How will they be protected? Who will look out for their rights? Who will speak for them? Lawyers. So expect articles, headlines and news reports about lawyers lining up to make claims and file law suits. The huge multinational corporations and insurance companies will use every opportunity to vilify lawyers. In doing so, they will do whatever they can to avoid their responsibility to the little guys whom they have damaged most.

The tactics are common. The tactics are part of a long-term plan and many years of media manipulation. Were it not for lawyers, huge corporations would not be held accountable. They would do whatever they wanted without any repercussions. Many corporations and insurance companies push the envelope now to see what they can get away with. Without attorneys willing to stand up on the behalf of injured people, the little guys of the world, there would be no limit to corporate power. There would be no limit to corporate greed. There would be no limit to corporate irresponsibility. Even with lawyers, we see it every day. Companies blaming the victims. Taking every step to avoid responsibility. Corporations taking advantage at the expense of tax payers and the little guys.

Just watch, the attacks are going to come. When you see or hear one, know the real reason the attacks are bieng made; to reduce or eliminate the threat of responsiblity and being held accountable.

It became apparent to me during a recent deposition that I was working to protect and improve our community.  The Defendant’s lawyer, on the other hand, was furiously working to lower the level of safety in our community.  How could that be true?  The goal of the Defense attorney was to allow the negligent behaviour of his client to slide.  To get a pass.  You know, not to be held accountable for his negligence, while my poor client will bear a lifetime of pain and discomfort due to the Defendant’s negligence.  By asking that a jury hold the negligent person accountable, and enforcing the legal standards of our community, I, by obtaining a jury verdict in favor of my client, will uphold the law and hopefully, in the end, maintain the proper levels of safety in our community.

I then asked myself, if a Plaintiff’s verdict helps uphold the laws and safety of the community, how does a defense verdict help advance the interests of the community as a whole?  A defense verdict does not make better drivers.  It does not make our streets safer.  It would leave an injured person with no recourse, just pain and sadness.  Unfortunately, due to a long and well paid for ad campaign, the insurance companies and corporate America have convinced a great number of people that lawsuits are the problem.  That lawyers are the problem.  While some lawyers and some lawsuits are problems, the root problem remains unsafe and negligent drivers.  The only way to improve the roadways and protect the community is for juries to enforce the rules of the road and hold negligent drivers personally responsible.
