Brampton, Ontario -- (SBWire) -- 06/18/2009 -- Several litigation trend surveys consistently point towards the fact that the number of personal injury and healthcare lawsuits is on the rise. According to one study of 2008, over three-fourths of healthcare companies under the survey faced at least one fresh lawsuit last year. Almost 90% of the companies surveyed expected no mitigation in the lawsuits situation in 2009.

Personal Injury accidents are also on the rise in the United States, leading to a higher number of personal injury lawsuits being filed in the various U.S. courts. In fact, some studies suggest a rapid increase in the cases of personal injury and deaths over the past decades in the U.S. The situation is alarming enough from a social angle, and in terms of litigation it has increased the work of the courts substantially.

Another important aspect of this increase in the number of personal injury and healthcare lawsuits is the amount of awareness that has amplified among the general public regarding their legal rights. We are living in the age of information, and the explosive growth of the Internet and other media channels has brought about a revolution in our lives in many ways. One of the fallouts of this situation is that people are more aware of their rights, and they are more willing to exercise their rights and file lawsuits in the court where justice is not forthcoming in any other way.

There are a large number of law firms that have mushroomed all across the country to capitalize upon this opportunity in personal injury and healthcare lawsuits. However, from a common man’s viewpoint, it is important to distinguish between the truly professional firms that will give you right legal advice, versus various unreliable firms who may not strictly adhere to the ethics of the profession to serve you with professional integrity.
