Current proposals to cut the salaries and resources of Florida’s circuit court judges may save money, says senior partner at Miami-based Gerson & Schwartz, but they will increase case backlogs, keep judicial ranks from growing, and prevent injury victims and crime victims from obtaining justice-- and accountability.

MIAMI, Florida (PRWEB) - Florida’s courts are overwhelmed and its judges underpaid, says Miami personal injury lawyer Philip M. Gerson, and the solution is to increase resources -- not decrease them. Gerson -- senior partner at the law firm Gerson & Schwartz -- warns that recent proposals to cut the salaries, and resources, of Florida circuit court judges will only increase case backlogs and keep judicial ranks from growing, hindering the ability of crime and injury victims to have their day in court -- and get the answers and accountability they deserve.

In a decision sparked by Certified Questions from the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the California Supreme Court weighed in on the question of whether the earliest injury from tobacco use started the statute of limitations running for all future injuries as well. The Court's opinion stated that "the earlier disease does not trigger the statute of limitations for a lawsuit based on the later disease."

SAN FRANCISCO, California (PRWEB) - On May 5, 2011, the California Supreme Court ended big tobacco’s campaign to deny Californians injured by tobacco access to justice. In the case of Nikki Pooshs, big tobacco had successfully argued in the lower court that a lung cancer victim could not sue them because the victim’s time to do so had expired decades before when the victim experienced a lesser tobacco injury.
