In the lightening fast world of sound bites and propaganda-muddled "news," we can hear misinformation so often that it becomes "common knowledge." But a lot of the so-called common knowledge, such as the litigation explosion in our courthouses, is far from accurate. This misinformation can hurt you and your family. Read below for some of our observations on what you need to know to protect yourself.
Forget Your Day in Court Thanks to tort reform, arbitrations instead of courtroom hearings are becoming more common. Whether buying a car, getting a credit card, or signing up for cellphone service, consumers increasingly are asked to sign an agreement that requires them to go to arbitration rather than sue in the event of a dispute. Franchisees and vendors for large corporations, too, encounter similar agreements. Proponents say mandatory arbitration is quicker and cheaper than going to court. But critics contend the process isn't always fair. |
