Legal system abuse is pervasive, driving up costs for consumers and businesses nationwide.
Profit-driven litigation tactics – such as misleading advertising and secretive third party litigation funding – turn our courts into profit centers rather than forums for justice. These practices impose a hidden ‘tort tax’ of more than $5,000 annually on the average household, inflating prices for goods and services, including insurance.
By flooding the system with meritless claims, they delay legitimate cases and increase settlement costs that ripple through the economy.
APCIA is partnering with industry leaders, consumers, and the business community to advance meaningful reforms that increase transparency, eliminate abusive practices, and ultimately restore fairness to the civil justice system and leads to lower costs.
