Why Jurors in New York Should Be Allowed to Twitter

Find out why Gerry Oginski, an experienced New York medical malpractice and personal injury trial attorney believes that jurors in NY should be allowed to twitter during a trial.

Currently, jurors are not allowed to talk to each other about the case until after they have received legal instructions from the judge. Likewise, attorneys and the litigants are also prohibited from talking to the jurors.

Twitter allows us to see what a juror is thinking about the testimony. Watch the video to learn more.

New York Malpractice Malpractice Statute

Maryland has a ridiculous statute of limitations of five years in medical malpractice cases where the malpractice victim would not have known of their injuries. New York's is even worse: two-and-a-half years, both a strange and draconian length. Some medical malpractice lawyers in New York are a part of the effort in Albany to make a more reasonable statute of limitations in New York.
