Frivolous lawsuits harm Colorado—its jobs, its families, its future. Colorado Lawsuit Abuse Watch seeks sensible reforms to protect us from runaway litigation.
When you can no longer buy the safest herbicide on the market to control weeds around your yard or farm, you can thank a #triallawyer! #lawsuitabuse

Doesn't it seem wrong when a personal injury lawyer claims $4 MILLION in legal fees - 40% of the total amount awarded to the family - for the tragic loss of their child? Surely, half that amount would cover the lawyer's legitimate expenses.

Nice work restoring sanity to laws governing liability for random acts of violence as #coleg passes #SB115. Good work by @KerryTipperHD28 @SoperMatthew@SenBobGardner @JacquezLewis @SonyaJLewis. Passed House 62-1, Senate 32-0!
The 2021-2022 #JudicialHellholes report highlights some of the worst civil justice trends of the year:
⚖️ "No-injury" lawsuits
⚖️ COVID-19 liability
⚖️ Third-party litigation funding growth
⚖️ Activism from rogue judges

Who's bright idea was it to put $2.5 BILLION tax break for #triallawyers in #BuildBackBetter legislation? #Coleg should add this to its clawback list of tax breaks. #HB1420

If gas stations are financially liable for selling fuel to a drunk driver, as NM Sup Ct suggests, does that mean everyone will be required to blow into a breathalizer to purchase gas? Absurd! #lawsuitabuse

Kudos to Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) vetoed a bill that would have created bounty-hunter private lawsuits against employers! @GovofCO#coleg

“Class actions are not driven by market forces, but rather profit motive has been distorted to incentivize copycat, abusive filings. Finally, class actions as currently practiced have no basis in this country’s legal tradition." @LegalReform#lawsuitabuse

In 2018 #coleg worked hard to re-authorize #COCivilRightsDivision to help screen & resolve employment discrimination claims. Now #SB176 will allow #triallawyers to bypass CCRD entirely, go straight to court. Terrible idea for SO MANY reasons! #copolitics

Consumers win more $$$, more often in #arbitration than in #lawsuits, study by @LegalReform confirms. #coleg should not interfere w/ consumers who don't want to #lawyerup !
