Prevent Erosion of Liability Reforms in Michigan

In 1995, Michigan enacted some of the most far-reaching reforms in the country to our legal system in order to turn back the tide of runaway lawsuits and jury awards. But one of the few bright spots in Michigan's otherwise troubled business climate is now under full scale assault by the trial lawyers and special interests that want Michigan to become another "legal system lottery" state with large and uncontrolled jury awards. Most small businesses cannot afford to play the legal lottery game and NFIB will be working to protect past reforms and implement new ones.
