Doyle & Trial Lawyers Kiss and Make Up
Wisconsin Trial Lawyers are breathing a little easier today thanks to Governor Doyle. Doyle vetoed a bill that would have prohibited lawyers from subpoenaing data pertaining to health care quality when suing hospitals, nursing homes and other providers.
The trial lawyers suffered a crushing blow earlier this year when Doyle signed a bill capping the non-economic damages awarded in medical malpractice lawsuits to a measly $750,000. How are trial lawyers suppose to feed their families with draconian limits like these?
Today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article reports that contributions from large law firms accounted for over $180,000 in contributions to Doyle last year, but here's a more interesting statistic:
The amount of contributions from lawyers to Doyle this cycle: $965,521.59
Go with the big numbers, I always say.

I would hope my lawyer is a Doyle contributor. The Gov consistently works for the rights of working people in Wisconsin and access to courts for redress of injury. If it wasn't for men like Doyle we'd be shut out completely.
One needs only to look at the crushing burden placed on the citizens of Texas after their lawsuit reform. People who are injured through negligence or product defects.
Mark Green and his buddies in Washington have gutted the bankruptcy protections for Americans. We don't need him in Wisconsin to deny access to the courts, too.
