Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act
Not Just a Lawsuit Reform Bill -- An American Jobs Bill
This spring, a common sense bill in Congress called the Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act was introduced.
This bill, introduced by Rep. Lamar Smith (TX) and Sen. Charles Grassley (IA), would impose mandatory sanctions against lawyers who file frivolous lawsuits in federal court.
Now, more than ever, America needs this lawsuit reform law.
According to a study we released last year, the tort liability price tag for American small businesses alone topped $105 billion in 2008. These are the same small businesses that have created 64% of all net new jobs in this country during the past fifteen years.
Small businesses are the key to America's jobs recovery -- and protecting them from the threat of lawsuit abuse is vital to getting them back on their feet.
Unfortunately, the trial lawyer lobbyists are trying their hardest to block passage of the Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act.
Please click here to day to email your members of Congress to urge them to support this vital lawsuit reform bill.
Right now, we need our small businesses investing in new jobs -- rather than legal fees, court costs and outrageous lawsuit settlements.
Lawsuit abuse also leads to higher insurance costs, which is yet another costly hit to the bottom line of these job creators.
The Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act isn't just a lawsuit reform bill. It's a jobs bill.
Please email your members of Congress today to urge them to pass this vital piece of legislation.
