Malpractice cases, Moss explained to his client, settle late or never and can cost a fortune. You’ll be personally, perhaps viciously, attacked. You’ll contend with tough, even brutal adversaries, special rules that treat medical negligence far more leniently than any other kind, and blind biases in favor of the defendant…..
This weekend the kids will head to the mall–where else? But when several dozen members of Students for Justice drop by the new Denver Pavilions at noon Saturday, it won’t be to do any Christmas shopping. Instead, they plan to protest the $24 million in “corporate welfare” sucked from taxpayers…
