In recent years, insurance company lobbyists have mounted an unprecedented attack on the American judicial system through so-called "tort reform." Tort reform has had its biggest impact on medical malpractice cases. Today, many states have passed legislation that limits the amount of money a person can obtain in a medical malpractice lawsuit. Tort reform laws also drive up litigation expenses by placing strict expert witness requirements and restrictive timelines on plaintiffs' attorneys.
