- Our courts are choking with too many lawsuits. It takes too long to move lawsuits
through the system - legitimate lawsuits may take a year or more to be heard in court.
- Too many lawsuits are frivolous or junk lawsuits. There are more every day... and
they could easily happen to you.
- Even if you beat a frivolous lawsuit, it will cost you time, money, and personal
grief to defend yourself. Many innocent defendants are forced to settle out of court,
simply to avoid legal harassment, damaged reputations, and financial ruin.
- Even if you have never been sued, you pay for lawsuit abuse. Lawsuit abuse
creates higher health care costs... higher prices for consumer items... higher insurance
premiums... and higher taxes. Think of these higher costs as a hidden "lawsuit
tax."
- We all pay more in overall economic costs - through lost jobs and business
closings... and an overburdened court system where too often justice is not served.
