Issue Position: Tort Reform

Issue Position

For businesses in Alabama to thrive, they have to be protected from frivolous lawsuits. While I support a fair and just court system that reimburses citizens for expenses due to negligence of others, we need to prevent frivolous lawsuits that bog down our court system and cost the state thousands as we adjudicate the suit. Additionally, we need to pass statutory maximum damage limits for medical malpractice lawsuits. Placing a cap on the amount of these awards will help to keep the cost of health insurance down.
