Our Leslie Carlson, a graphic artist/visual journalist, put together this detailed interactive graphic for Protect Consumer Justice, a nonprofit organization working to inform about, and defend, consumers' rights to seek redress through the courts for everything from product safety to medical malpractice. From the intro to the graphic:
Product safety. Medical negligence. Environmental oversight. Corporate wrongdoing. The civil justice system has had a dramatic effect on our day-to-day lives, allowing ordinary people a platform to tap constitutional rights enshrined by America’s founders and battle back to hold powerful corporations accountable. Consumer attorneys have helped increase the safety of products, improve our environment and ensure our health by fighting for people who often can’t fight for themselves. Their efforts have addressed dangers in the home and the workplace, on the road and in the sky — and by doing so have improved the quality of life for each of us.
