Proposed Bill in Georgia: Why It Hurts You and Benefits Big Insurance
At Montlick Injury Attorneys, we’ve spent over 40 years fighting for justice for Georgia families. Today, we’re raising the alarm about a proposed tort reform bill that threatens to harm everyday Georgians. If passed, this bill will restrict the ability of injured victims to get fair compensation, access medical care, and recover from accidents—all while boosting profits for insurance companies.
What Is Tort Reform?
Tort reform refers to changes in the law that limit the rights of injury victims to pursue compensation. While proponents claim it reduces frivolous lawsuits, the reality is that these changes benefit large corporations and insurers at the expense of regular people like you.
Why Montlick Opposes Proposed Georgia Senate Bill 68
We believe in standing up for individuals, not powerful corporations. Here’s why this proposed legislation is dangerous for Georgians:
- Barriers to Medical Treatment: The bill could impose caps on damages or other restrictions, making it harder for victims to afford essential medical care after an accident.
- Financial Hardships for Families: Reduced compensation means families may struggle to pay medical bills, replace lost wages, or move forward after a catastrophic injury.
- Increased Power for Insurance Companies: By limiting their liability, insurers profit while leaving victims without the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
The Impact of SB68 on Georgians
Imagine being injured in a car accident and unable to pay for surgery because the law caps the compensation you can receive. Or consider a parent who loses wages while caring for their injured child but is unable to recoup those losses because of new legal hurdles. This is the future we’re fighting to prevent.
