Injured in an accident? Thinking of hiring a lawyer?
They’re not all on your side.
Watch our new PSA — Before You Call That Lawyer, to understand how fast help can turn into mounting debt.
Mayor Mamdani’s administration is suing a personal injury law firm accused of filing phony claims against NYC.
NYC says the firm blamed crash and assault injuries on broken streets and sidewalks, leaving taxpayers with the bill.

Treasury Secretary @SecScottBessent calls third-party litigation financing “a malignancy within our legal and financial system.”
A bill before Congress would close the loophole. Why should lawsuit investors get a tax break?

Billboard lawyers are spending more than ever to get accident victims in the door. But winning clients isn’t the same as protecting them.
Here’s where the money went—and what consumers need to know. 🧵
Legal ad spending clusters in litigation hotspots.
Los Angeles, New York City and Philadelphia saw a combined $440 million in 2025. All three are located in jurisdictions on the 2025–26 Judicial Hellholes® list.
$4.1 billion buys a lot of promises.
What those ads don’t explain: attorney fees, medical liens and how much of a settlement may actually reach the victim.
Consumers deserve transparency before they sign.
Accident victims are not sales leads.
A Georgia personal injury lawyer was disbarred after pleading no contest to a felony charge stemming from a scheme that illegally accessed accident data more than 30,000 times to solicit clients.
Inside the scheme:

Staged crashes. Bogus construction falls. Fraud-driven claims.
Businesses and insurers have filed nearly 300 civil RICO lawsuits since 2024 to fight alleged fraud schemes. Most were filed in New York.

Finance firms are cold-calling L.A. County abuse survivors: cash now for future payouts.
They’ve talked over 180 victims into selling payout rights at 80 cents on the dollar, then collect what victims are owed.
Survivors—not finance firms—should benefit.

The trial bar has found yet another law to bend - the California Invasion of Privacy Act. These frivolous lawsuits are burdening small businesses by targeting widely-used, everyday website technology. Read more in @HouseSmallBiz Chairman @RepRWilliams op-ed:
"Every dollar spent to fight one of these claims is a dollar that never makes it into a paycheck."
Small businesses shouldn't have to choose between competing online and getting sued.

Within an hour, one national injury firm reportedly had jurors’ social media, property and employment data.
National injury firms are using AI to pursue larger payouts. As litigation costs rise, consumers pay through higher premiums.

Michigan’s bipartisan 2019 reforms are delivering lower costs for drivers.
The results echo what Florida drivers are seeing after their own reforms: when lawmakers curb lawsuit abuse, families keep more of their money.

Louisiana residents paid more than $1,100 each in a hidden “lawsuit tax” last year. Outside investors bankroll lawsuits for profit—and consumers absorb the cost. Rep. @emilymchenevert is pushing for transparency and reform of third-party lawsuit funding.

It's #LawsuitAbuseAwarenessWeek. ⚖️ Excessive litigation costs the average American $1,771/year in a hidden “tort tax” ($5,579/family) and costs the economy more than 5 million jobs. Everyone pays for legal system abuse.
“Personal injury laws exist to protect actual victims of trauma, not to line the pockets of people looking to make a quick buck off City taxpayers.”
— NYC Corporation Counsel Steven Banks
Court documents detail 15 lawsuits NYC says were fabricated ⤵️

Texas families are paying a $4,600 “hidden tax” every year because of lawsuit abuse.
Billboard lawyers cash in. Texans pay more.
Texas lawmakers can stop it.

$4.1 billion. Nearly 30 million ads. An almost 50% increase in one year.
Billboard lawyers are spending more than ever to get accident victims in the door. Those ads are built to win clients—not protect them.

You will never receive a bill marked “lawsuit tax.” You pay it anyway.
Excessive litigation costs the average Texas household an estimated $4,594 a year through higher prices, reduced earnings, and lost economic activity.
Texas lawmakers can lower it.

A billboard lawyer recruits a client, sends the client to a handpicked medical provider, and presents the bill in court.
When unnecessary treatment and excessive charges inflate the lawsuit, Texans can pay through higher premiums.
Stop the pipeline. Pass reform.
