AAJ Reveals Ad Campaign During Senate Vote

By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti

As the Senate prepares to vote on healthcare reform, the American Association of Justice has launched new advertisements around Capitol Hill to draw attention to victims of medical malpractice. The ad campaign uses statistics and victim's stories to illustrate why it is crucial for Congress to protect the legal rights of victims. This week, ads were placed throughout Union Station, a major thoroughfare for Capitol Hill workers. The ads draw attention to the fact that every year, 98,000 patients are killed by preventable medical errors. The AAJ also took out a one page ad in Roll Call to gain the attention of congressional workers.
