‘What Is There to Talk About?’: Texas Judges Are Eyeing 2 Court Redistricting Bills

Texas Lawyer, February 05, 2021

One paper by the Texans for Lawsuit Reform Foundation said that if Texas had new appellate court districts, it could reduce the number of conflicting legal rulings that come from the courts. None of Texas’ counties should be in more than one appellate district, said the paper. Some courts are too busy and others are not, and the judiciary uses docket equalization by transferring cases, which “is unpopular with litigants, lawyers and judges.” Texas would save money if there were fewer appellate courts, said the paper.

On Gov. Abbott’s top legislative priorities, 1 has broad support, 4 not so much

Austin American Statesman, February 2, 2021

We applaud the governor for highlighting the very real threat abusive and unnecessary COVID-19-related litigation presents for the well-being of Texas families and our economy. Abusive lawsuits make the goods and services we need more expensive and harder to get. They kill job growth and they slow investment in our communities.

Stop abusive lawsuits plaguing owners, operators of commercial trucks and cars

Tyler Morning Telegraph, January 28, 2021

During the pandemic, we have all become keenly aware of the importance of delivery and service vehicles to our daily lives. And, so have personal injury lawyers. Searching for another big payoff, some personal injury lawyers have set their sights on commercial or company vehicle owners and operators. And it’s not just big trucks like 18-wheelers that are at risk. It’s any truck or car with a company logo on it, no matter the size or industry, and no matter how minor the accident or who was at fault.

Florida Supreme Court delivers the ‘Holy Grail of lawsuit reform’ in Thursday ruling

Miami Herald, December 31, 2020

The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday revamped a key legal standard as its conservative majority continued to show a willingness to undo previous decisions that have guided the state’s courts. “Our goals are simply to improve the fairness and efficiency of Florida’s civil justice system, to relieve parties from the expense and burdens of meritless litigation, and to save the work of juries for cases where there are real factual disputes that need resolution.”

In case you missed it: In addition to massive premiums, the cost of paying a lawyer to defend one of the lawsuits against owners of commercial vehicles can devastate a small company. And every dollar spent fighting an unnecessary lawsuit is one less dollar that can be invested in a company’s employees or community.
