Frivolous Lawsuits and Tort Reform

The phrase “frivolous lawsuit” is one we have likely all heard in our lives. It drums up an image of money-hungry lawyers filing unnecessary lawsuits that damage companies and impede on the growth of business. The phrase has been touted as the reason states need to enact tort reform laws that limit the ability of injured parties to file different types of lawsuits. These tort reform laws directly effect the ability of our clients to recover damages in a civil lawsuit. The following video helps to break down some myths about these frivolous lawsuits and explains how attorneys like those here at Powers Taylor are fighting daily to get our clients justice despite tort reform.
