Tort reform legislation

Tort reform legislation involves changes to laws that govern personal injury and civil lawsuits, aiming to limit excessive or frivolous lawsuits. It seeks to streamline the legal process, reduce unpredictable awards, and control legal costs. This can include caps on damages, stricter standards for filing lawsuits, or reducing liability for defendants. The goal is to balance the rights of injured parties with the need to prevent abusive litigation, encouraging fair resolution while maintaining a business-friendly environment.
