"Of all the proposals for tort reform, Professor Jeffrey O'Connell's 'early offer' plan is the most attractive and balanced. It manages to combine fairness, administrative efficiency, and deterrence with victim compensation at levels that promise to make everyone better off-- except, of course, for the trial lawyers, expert witnesses, and other cost creators who benefit from the cruel and wasteful status quo. This should be required reading for any pragmatic law reformer who cares about social justice." -- Peter H. Schuck, Simeon E. Baldwin Professor of Law, Yale Law School "Our system for compensating personal injury victims has long been judged an abysmal failure. Drawing on his lifetime of innovative work to improve the status quo, Professor O'Connell and his colleague Professor Robinette offer a most intriguing proposal to simplify the system, lower its costs, and give victims the speedy relief they need. Everyone interested in this subject should definitely read this book with care."
-- Derek Bok, former Dean of Harvard Law School and President of Harvard University |
