Illinois Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse

[Illinois Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse @TortReformIL]

Tomorrow America turns 250.

Our Founders built a legal system for fairness and equal justice — not one rigged for the highest bidder.

Illinois trial lawyers have other ideas.

250 years after independence, America's founding promise was equal justice under law.

Illinois' lawsuit climate isn't living up to it.

$2,004 per person. 214,039 jobs. Gone.

One month. One message.

Lawsuit abuse lets bad actors walk free while Illinois families pay the tab.

Follow @TortReformIL and help us change it.

Shoutout to @AmTortReform and @SHAPE_Illinois — fighting alongside IL CALA for a fairer civil justice system in Illinois.

When trial lawyers have the political upper hand, coalitions are how families fight back.

Illinois families don't pay the tort tax at the courthouse.

They pay it at the grocery store. In their insurance bill. At the gas pump.

$2,004 per person per year — hidden in every purchase.

BIPA was meant to protect workers' privacy.

Trial lawyers turned it into a lottery ticket.

No harm required. Just a technicality and a lawsuit.

Illinois can protect privacy without enabling abuse.

Illinois courts: where the actual bad guys walk free and someone else pays the bill.

That's lawsuit abuse. That's the system trial lawyers built.

IL CALA is fighting to change it.

Illinois Judicial Hellhole ranking: #7 nationally.

214,039 jobs lost. $25.5 billion in output gone.

That's not an abstraction. That's Illinois families and employers paying for a broken legal climate.

Trial lawyers flood Springfield with campaign cash — then write the laws that protect their ability to sue.

Speaker Welch: $80,000. Senate President Harmon: $75,000. Average Illinois family: $0 representation.

Illinois employers factor legal risk into every hiring decision and expansion plan.

A $2,004 per person tort tax doesn't just show up in courtrooms. It shows up in fewer jobs.

Will public nuisance law expand too far in Illinois? Courts have held the line, but aggressive efforts by Chicago are eroding good governance and democracy. Our latest in @CrainsChicago https://t.co/mxCLicHYcD . .

Chicago sued Kia. The car thieves walked free.

Who won? Trial lawyers.
Who lost? Chicago families.

This is Illinois lawsuit abuse — following the deep pocket, not the wrongdoing.

Hedge funds and foreign investors can secretly fund Illinois lawsuits and profit from verdicts.

Courts don't have to be told. Defendants don't have to be told.

That's not justice. That's a rigged game. Illinois needs transparency reform.

Cook County, Madison County, and St. Clair County: #7 on the national Judicial Hellholes list.

That ranking costs Illinois jobs, investment, and economic opportunity — every single year.

A small business installs a timeclock. A trial lawyer files a BIPA lawsuit.

No employee was harmed. No privacy was violated.

But the lawsuit costs are very real. This is Illinois lawsuit abuse.

Illinois families pay $2,004 per person per year in hidden tort taxes.

That's higher grocery bills. Higher insurance. Higher rent.

Not because of inflation. Because of lawsuit abuse.

Good to see Federal judges in Illinois looking into potential lawsuit abuses.

Thanks for your hard work for Floridians, @TomFLCALA !

[Tom Gaitens @TomFLCALA]

As executive director of citizens against lawsuit abuse,... I have said, civil justice reform works!

@CrainsChicago, Insurers in Florida are sending $1billion rebates to members in Florida because of #tortreform, meanwhile Illinois consumers are paying higher and higher premiums every year to pay for bad civil justice climate in Illinois.

[U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform @LegalReform]

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."
