We all pay.  We all lose.

Our justice system is intended to make people whole, not rich. Unfortunately it is too often abused by those who view our legal system as a lottery where even dubious claims can lead to a huge payday. We all pay the price when our civil justice system is abused.

  • Lawsuit abuse costs jobs. Lawsuits and the threat of liability make it that much harder for employers to succeed and provide the jobs we need. We need more jobs, not more lawsuits.
  • Lawsuit abuse hurts patients. Patients pay the price as doctors leave the state or stop practicing because of the fear of lawsuits.
  • Lawsuit abuse costs families. Every lawsuit means higher liability costs that are passed along as higher prices on the goods and services we all need.

Lunacy in Action

Med-Malpractice

 

Lawsuit abuse limits our access to health care because it drives up the cost for everyone and threatens the development of new life-saving medications, innovation, procedures and devices.

Court Elections



Voters faced with lengthy Election Day ballots all too often skip the races they know the least about – usually judicial ones. Yet the races for Texas Supreme Court can have a tremendous impact on Texans' daily lives.
