Virtually every job creator in Texas has the potential to encounter an accident that can evolve into a company-threatening lawsuit. Businesses want to do the right thing when someone is injured due to the actions of their employees. At the same time, no employer wants to be held for ransom in a lawsuit by a person who was not injured or who caused his own injury.
Texas’ litigation
environment has
shifted from protecting
legitimately injured
Texans to targeting all
job creators, impacting
every industry in our

Insurers are afraid to go to
court in Texas. Instead,
they settle cases and pass

who must then choose
between raising prices,
firing employees or closing
their doors.
Legislative reforms can
restore fairness
and transparency to the
legal system and return stability
to the insurance market.
