Dear parents, caretakers, and friends,
Next Tuesday the U.S. Senate will vote on legislation making it more
difficult for children with birth-related injuries to bring lawsuits.
The bill, S. 2061, would limit the amount of damages available from a
negligent hospital, doctor, or drug manufacturer. It also reduces the
amount of time that victims and their families have to bring a lawsuit,
and makes it harder to hire experts to evaluate causes of a child's
injury. The bill only applies to cases involving obstetrics and
gynecology.
Not everyone explores legal action for possible birth-related injuries,
but if you believe this option should remain available, please point
your browser to
http://action.citizen.org/pc/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=5154776
to learn more and to send a free email to your senators in opposition
to the bill.
Thank You,
Samantha Coulombe
