The New York Child Victim Act is a new law that gives survivors of child sexual abuse until August 13, 2020 to bring lawsuits that were previously time-barred by the statute of limitations, no matter when the abuse occurred. Our latest filing is a perfect example of why this law is so important!

Medical negligence destroys lives and the right to seek compensation in our courts is getting more and more difficult as hospitals and medical practices become more corporate... Tonight HBO will air the documentary Bleed Out which examines one particularly tragic case. According to Joanne Doroshow, the Executive Director of the Center for Justice & Democracy it shows how medical errors destroy patients' lives, ruins families, the astronomical medical costs of negligence,... the costs to taxpayers, the stupidity of tort reform, the difficulty of bringing litigation especially where tort reform exists, fraudulent records, a completely messed up health care system and the massive number of preventable errors.

New Yorkers lost a great representative today. RIP to Rochester's Louise Slaughter who served 16 terms in Congress and was New York's senior member of the House of Representatives. She was a passionate fighter for women's rights and patient's rights... on the side of justice, always. We will miss her greatly! #louiseslaughter #womensrights #patientsrights #newyork

We support Lavern's Law, passed by both the Assembly and the Senate and hope the Governor will sign it into law.
