California’s courts are under siege.

Our courts have been taken over by personal injury lawyers and people who would rather sue than take responsibility for their own actions.

Our civil justice system is supposed to provide justice for all. Instead it has become the playground of those who would subvert the system for personal gain while making a mockery of American justice.

Signs of lawsuit abuse are everywhere. Ads for personal injury lawyers who promise "big money for your injuries." People threatening to sue over trivial matters. And a lawsuit industry that manufactures reasons to sue anyone for almost anything.

Lawsuit abuse is ruining our courts, threatening employers, making our country a laughingstock – and it costs you money every day.

Enough is enough. Help stop lawsuit abuse.
