Tort wars cost plenty

Article Abstract:

Tort reform is a costly enterprise from both sides. For example, in Pennsylvania in a major battle over products liability legislation, trial lawyers gave $1.2 million to legislators, but that figure is small compared with the amount spent by private industry supporting products liability legislation. A similar battle was fought in Michigan over no-fault medical coverage.

The environmental and industrial safety areas are likely to see most of the increased enforcement. EEOC policy will probably become more stringent as well.
