A recent Letter to the Editor by Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA) President appeared in the The State-Journal Register. In the letter, ITLA President Todd A. Smith responded to recent letters to the editor that Travis Akin and Ed Murnane, spokespeople for anti-consumer groups/big insurance front groups, bombarded papers with. Mr. Smith described that Akin and Murnane had bombarded the newspaper with hyperbole and fabrications about the Illinois civil justice system and had quoted bogus ?studies? in their recent Letters to the Editor. Akin and Murnane often blame our bad economic times on Illinois personal injury lawsuits and Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits, neglecting to focus on the state of Illinois? budget crisis, the rocky national economy, and the global recession.
