Issues: Lawsuit Abuse
The Issue
An elite group of greedy trial lawyers is exploiting our legal system and turning it into "jackpot justice." Over $163 billion is paid each year in damages and lawyers' fees related to tort lawsuits.
The FreedomWorks Position
We want to give back our legal system to honest, decent Americans. Our grassroots army has fought and won legal reforms at the federal level and the state level in Florida, Alabama, Texas, and Illinois. We educate citizens on how frivolous lawsuits affect them personally - impacting their pocketbooks, businesses, values and way of life. FreedomWorks activists are spearheading efforts to enact real tort reform across the country. What you can do: Attend our town meetings on lawsuit abuse. And tell your elected officials that you want our legal system returned to decent, honest Americans with real grievances.
