Legal system abuse impacts us all

Legal system abuse is a systemic problem with trial attorneys gaming the system at the expense of consumers. These abuses drive significant costs to consumers, businesses, and our economy.

What is legal system abuse?

Triple-I defines legal system abuse as policyholder or plaintiff attorney practices which increase costs and time to settle insurance claims to the detriment of consumers. Legal system abuse is driven by various factors such as:

  • “Get rich quick” marketing schemes
  • Increasing attorney contingency fees
  • Shadowed third party litigation funding (TPLF)

How does legal system abuse impact YOU?

Legal system abuse drives higher insurance costs for all consumers and businesses, while making attorneys and investors richer.

What can YOU do to stop legal system abuse?

Contact your legislators today and let them know legal system abuse must be stopped!
