Across the US, thousands of women have sued pelvic mesh manufacturers, and some have fallen prey to a lawsuit scheme designed to profit every player but the victims themselves.
Dr. Elizabeth Chamblee Burch is the Fuller E. Callaway Chair of Law at the University of Georgia. She recently published a book on this scam, a culmination of years of research. The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America’s Lawsuit Factory came out in January.
She sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss the work and the future of personal-injury litigation.
