Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker called a special session of the legislature for “creating jobs,” but he “wants lawmakers to take up a variety of low-impact tax credit bills” as well as “a variety of other bills including one that would limit the amount plaintiff’s attorneys can charge in some cases to three times the amount of any compensatory award.”
Walker envisions a bill that would “give drug-makers and medical device manufacturers immunity from lawsuits if their products had been approved by the FDA.”
Such bills have been “roundly criticized by consumer attorneys and advocates who said they are more about protecting special interests than they are about helping consumers or creating jobs.”
The Wisconsin Radio Network reports, “Ed Vopal with the Wisconsin Association for Justice said there will still be costs, when people become ill or die from such products.” However, state Senator Rich Zipperer, who wrote the bill, argues that “the prospect of lawsuits act as a deterrent to pharmaceutical companies developing new products.”
