Ohio just passed comprehensive third-party litigation funding reforms, & the bill is now headed to the governor’s desk. This protects families, consumers, and businesses from excessive litigation costs, driven by unregulated litigation financing and a lack of transparency.

North Carolina is leading the way – their legislature just overwhelmingly passed a bill to ban third-party litigation investment. If signed, it would make NC the first state to prohibit this practice entirely. A win for consumers and businesses who shoulder high litigation costs.

ICYMI from @politico’s @leonardkl: USAA returns $1 billion to policyholders thanks to civil litigation and tort reforms.
Florida proves that when you rein in lawsuit costs and restore fairness in the legal system, real people can see real savings.

When litigation costs decrease, consumers can see real savings.
From @mysuncoast: "USAA says it will return nearly $1 billion to eligible members in Florida, including an average 14% cut in auto rates and hundreds of millions in dividends."

Authorities say two people staged a car crash & three others billed a Miami clinic for injuries that never happened. Thousands of dollars allegedly stolen.
These fraudulent schemes raise premiums for every honest Floridian & put innocent drivers at risk. wfla.com/news/florida/5-arre…

Michigan just took a step towards litigation funding transparency. HB 5281, which passed the House, would require disclosure when outside investors bankroll lawsuits.
No more shadow cash. No more secret deals. Just transparency.

We welcome @GovernorVA’s veto of HB 449 & SB 229. VA has long avoided class actions in state courts, keeping litigation fair, predictable & stable while protecting individual claims. Check out our coalition letter with the VA Chamber here: bit.ly/4nGQIZ8

Do you know what happens when truckers face frivolous lawsuits? You might be paying a "hidden lawsuit tax." Costs rise and consumers foot the bill.

Tennessee is cracking down on shadowy third-party litigation funding. HB 2108 pulls back the curtain on TPLF, requiring funder disclosure and blocking foreign adversaries from financing lawsuits.

Did you know bad actors orchestrate these “staged collisions” to manufacture frivolous lawsuits and insurance payouts? And that businesses and consumers are left footing the bill?

Witness testimony should be based on expertise, not financial stakes in a case outcome. HB 437, which passed the Louisiana House, bans outcome-based pay for experts & boosts transparency in the courts.
