As the presidential election campaign heats up, I thought you might want to know where we New York personal injury lawyers stand. Do we favor democrats, like Obama, or Republican like _______ (fill in the blank)?
I won't give you a bunch of crap about us being impartial. We favor democrats hands down. Why? Among other reasons, because many republicans are in favor of tort reform (personal injury lawyers like me call it "tort deform").
But that's just one reason. Republicans, generally speaking, favor corporations and the rich at the expense of the down-trodden and the poor. Many of our clients are down on their luck. They are injured, out of work, dependent on social services, and have a legitimate personal injury claim against a corporation or an insurance company that they hope will help them get their life back on track. Many Republicans want to take away, or sharply curtail, their right to get justice. They belief people should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even if they have neither boots nor straps.
It's not that Republicans don't sometimes have good ideas and good motives. They do. And there are a lot of good Republicans out there. Hey, my mom, dad, and two of my five brothers are all Republicans, and they are some of the loveliest people I know.
But generally the philosophy of the Republican Party is inconsistent with the interests of the vast majority of our clients. So sure, we favor democrats, generally.
That being said, I voted for at least two Republicans in my local elections in Geneva, New York a few weeks ago. You have to look at the candidate, not just the party affiliation.
Will I vote for Obama or _____ (fill in the blank)? Uh hem. I haven't decided yet. Do you believe me?
Keep safe!
