tort reform movements

Tort reform movements aim to change laws surrounding personal injury lawsuits to reduce excessive or unjustified legal claims. These reforms seek to cap damages, limit lawsuit options, and impose stricter standards for filing claims, with the goal of decreasing frivolous lawsuits and lowering insurance costs for businesses and professionals. Supporters believe these changes can promote economic growth and judicial efficiency, while opponents argue they may limit individuals' rights to seek fair compensation. Overall, tort reform seeks a balance between protecting victims and preventing abuse of the legal system.
