Legal reform is needed because lawsuits hurt small businesses.
Multiple surveys have shown that lawsuits
are not a concern for small business owners. A survey from the National
Association of Manufacturers suggests that “lawsuit abuse” ranks at the bottom
of concerns for manufacturers.7 The fact is that the propaganda put out by large corporations is the source of this myth. For several decades, corporate-speak has been telling us over and over again that business is hampered by lawsuits, that business owners are scared to do things for fear of lawsuits. This is simply a fabrication designed to scare us.
A 2008 survey from National
Federation of Independent Business had similar results, with “costs and
frequency of lawsuits / threatened suits” ranking 65th on a list of small
business owners’ worries. 8
Small business owners have a lot more pressing worries. In reality, only big corporations and their
front groups want to destroy the legal system so they can’t be held accountable
for negligence and misconduct. Drug, oil, and insurance companies have tried to
hide behind small business owners to accomplish this; however, these surveys
reveal their true intentions.

Death of Child Prompts Recall of Window Blinds by Blind Xpress
If you, or anyone you know, has been injured by a defective product, contact Attorney Robert L. Vogel at The Vogel Law Firm by calling 865-357-1949 or email rlvogel@robertvogellaw.com
Two-year-old strangles in cord
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Blind Xpress of Livonia, Mich. is announcing the recall of about 139,000 custom-made vertical and 315,000 horizontal blinds. In 2009, a 2-year-old girl from Commerce Township, Mich. reportedly strangled in the loop of a vertical blind cord that was not attached to the wall or floor.
Blind Xpress custom vertical blinds have an adjustment cord that forms a loop that is not attached to the wall or floor. In some instances, this loop has a weighted device at the bottom. The custom horizontal blinds do not have inner cord stop devices to prevent the accessible inner cords from being pulled out. A child can become entangled in a cord loop and strangle.
This recall involves all Blind Xpress custom-made vertical blinds that do not have a cord-tensioning device that attaches to the wall or floor, as well as all horizontal blinds that do not have inner cord stop devices.
The blinds were sold at various blind specialty stores in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana from January 1995 through December 2011 for between $16 and $380. These blinds were manufactured in the United States.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the window coverings and contact the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) to receive a free repair kit. For more information, contact the WCSC toll-free at (800) 506-4636 anytime or visit www.windowcoverings.org

Myth: The number of lawsuits filed is skyrocketing.
Drug, oil, and insurance companies have spent millions of dollars to generate myths about how lawsuits are out of control and responsible for all of America’s ills. The facts tell a much different story.
The number of tort (personal injury) cases has been declining for years. According to the National Center for State Courts, tort cases accounted for just 4.4 percent of all civil cases filed in 2008, and declined by 25 percent between 1999 and 2008. Tort filings in state courts decreased by six percent between 2007 and 2008.
According to the Justice Department under President George W. Bush, the number of federal tort cases resolved in U.S. District Courts fell by 79 percent between 1985 and 2003. In 1985, 3,600 tort trials were decided by a judge or jury in U.S. District Courts. By 2003, that number had dropped to less than 800.1
Additionally, the most recent statistics from the Administration’s Bureau of Justice Statistics show the number of tort trials at the state level has decreased. These statistics were compiled as part of the Bureau’s survey of state civil justice systems in the nation’s largest 75 counties. Among these counties, the number of tort trials decreased 31.8 percent between 1992 and 2001. 2
