Tiger Joyce – President of American Tort Reform Foundation
Georgia is the number one judicial hellhole in
the United States!

Tiger Joyce
Lawsuit abuse results in over $284 billion in excessive tort costs. In other words, lawsuit abuse costs every American about $1,303 each year in a “tort tax”. According to the American Tort Reform Foundation, Judicial Hellholes® are places where lawsuits and abuse of the court system are the norm. The surge in excessive and high-dollar nuclear verdicts results in higher costs on consumer goods and fewer jobs, all while American families are already feeling the pinch of inflation. This year in Judicial Hellholes®, lawsuits were filed that ignore one of the most basic tenets of tort law – claiming an actual injury. Oftentimes, these are lawsuits filed by serial plaintiffs, who file numerous, practically duplicate lawsuits, and who haven’t actually suffered any real injury. Trial lawyers might promise solutions with lawsuits, but many take advantage and leave vulnerable communities lacking resources due to unseen costs and delayed resolution with prolonged litigation. On <DATE>, Tiger Joyce of the American Tort Reform Foundation will be available for interviews. He will discuss the jurisdictions that made this year’s list and how lawsuit abuse impacts everyday Americans.
