He and his cohorts have done an effective job creating and spreading around myths about \u201ctort reform\u201d and personal injury lawsuits. These exaggerations, half truths, and outright lies have become pervasive in our society.Sadly, they are often accepted as fact. These false beliefs can create serious hazards for victims and family members of victims.Tort cases include cases for fraud, bad faith, misrepresentation, legal malpractice, medical malpractice, general negligence, motor vehicle negligence, personal property disputes, real property disputes, wantonness, product liability and wrongful death.\u201cTort reform\u201d is simply Goliath\u2019s marketing campaign to smear David in an effort to increase Goliath\u2019s profits. Watch closely how Goliath does this masterful slight of hand. Insurance companies, manufacturers of dangerous products and chemicals, the tobacco industry, and other major corporations have waged a nationwide assault on the civil justice system.\u201cTort reform\u201d advocates have set up dozens of tax-exempt groups to plant their \u201clawsuit abuse\u201d message in the media and the public consciousness, to influence legislation, judicial elections and even jurors. These groups claim to speak for average American citizens determined to protect consumer interests.But their tax filings and funding sources indicate they actually represent major corporations and industries seeking to escape liability for the harm they cause consumers. These organizations hide their pro-business agenda behind consumer-friendly names like Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse, Stop Lawsuit Abuse and Lawsuit Abuse Watch.Goliath\u2019s myths are hidden obstacles in your way. You won\u2019t recognize how much harm they are causing you \u2013 or potentially causing you \u2013 unless you surface them, test them for reality (or lack thereof), and protect yourself against them.Many of the big companies\u2019 myths will appear to be ridiculous. You may find yourself scratching your head, thinking, \u201cHow on Earth could I \u2013 or anyone, for that matter \u2013 have come to believe something so silly and, in retrospect, so easily disprovable?\u201d The short answer: Goliath may not exactly win points for moral character, but the giant is one heck of a marketer! It\u2019s time to shine the light of truth on these myths and destroy them forever.It\u2019s high time that you got the truth about Goliath. He and his cohorts have done an effective job creating and spreading around myths about \u201ctort reform\u201d and personal injury lawsuits. These exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies have become pervasive in our society.Sadly, they are often accepted as fact. These false beliefs can create serious hazards for victims and family members of victims. Tort cases include cases for fraud, bad faith, misrepresentation, legal malpractice, medical malpractice, general negligence, motor vehicle negligence, personal property disputes, real property disputes, wantonness, product liability and wrongful death.Myth #1: People Are Overly Litigious"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Giant\u2019s Gentle Disguises: Exposing And Refuting Goliath\u2019s Nine Great Myths","item":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/the-giants-gentle-disguises-exposing-and-refuting-goliaths-nine-great-myths\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
