Issue Position: Tort Reform

Issue Position

Tort laws relate to lawsuits involving injuries to people or property. Some of these cases have merit, but too often Missouri's tort system is abused. Our state has some of the most anti-business tort laws in the country and many of the states bordering Missouri have stronger tort laws protecting their businesses. Because of our anti-business tort law reputation, out of state attorneys and plaintiffs frequently flock to our state's courthouses to sue our state's job creators. This places a great burden on our businesses and limits our ability to create and attract new businesses. Alex will work to reform our tort laws to reduce frivolous lawsuits and burdens on our businesses.
