Terence Gross of Gross & Schuster, P.A. Discusses Tort Reform Viewpoints on WCOA Pensacola

Pensacola, FL – Terence Gross of Gross & Schuster, P.A. is a well-known personal injury and wrongful death attorney in Pensacola, FL. A few days back, Gross appeared on WCOA Pensacola’s radio show to talk about tort reform and the many issues that surround it.

Tort is detailed as any wrongful act regarding personal injury that results in a civil suit. Over time, various modifications have been made to cases handling tort that in Gross’ mind, places each and every injured individual at an extreme disadvantage.

Whether it’s medical malpractice, a terrible car wreck, or an injury at work, a civil case usually follows after. Unfortunately, the injured individual is already predetermined to lose out on the most amount of money they can get thanks to tort reform. Medical malpractice caps are just one clause that minimizes the amount of compensation an individual can receive after negligent acts during doctor visits or surgery. And if an employee is hurt while at work but receives worker’s compensation, a company is immune from being sued, which means that the only money the employee will be seeing is the worker’s comp itself.

The issue that really aches Gross’ heart is how the insurance providers benefit from tort reform. The policies set in place effectively take away a citizen’s chance at a decent compensation amount after being injured. This allows an insurance company to provide only the minimum amount of money for these victims, rather than a decent compensation that will help them with costs regarding pain and suffering, case fees, or rehabilitation. The Pensacola personal injury attorney is worried for tort reform victims in the community, but is working hard every day to educate and inform people on the issue.

“We’ve dealt with so many cases on tort reform where people are confused, most not having any idea about these laws being passed in the first place,” Terence Gross said. “So we really want to encourage everyone to research this topic so that if it ever arises in their lives, they’ll be prepared for the outcome.”
