Congress May Help Nursing Home Residents That Have Signed Arbitration Agreements

Dan Frith posted today that Congress may finally help consumers avoid unfair arbitration clauses that are inserted into contracts before there is any dispute between them.  An arbitration agreement gives up your right to to sue or have a jury hear your case.  I see these arbitration clauses way too much in nursing home admission agreements.  People simply don't understand what they are giving up when they sign these--and certainly aren't thinking about litigating a nursing home negligence claim when they are signing their loved one in to a home.  Some of these agreements require the loser to pay for the other sides expenses in bringing the arbitration claim.  PLEASE DON'T SIGN ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

They are completely unfair and should be done away with. I join Dan in saying "Please write your representative in Congress and ask them to support the Arbitration Fairness Act (H.R. 3010 and S. 1782). Let's win one for the American Consumer!"
