IN THE KNOW

THE GTLA NEWSLETTER

At the recent AAJ Convention, political directors from all over the country lamented the attacks on both the tort systems and the workers’ compensation systems of their states. With neighboring states passing caps or another type of Draconian tort reform or a restriction of the rights of injured workers, we must prepare for a full-scale onslaught. To that end, we are focusing intently this summer and fall on GTLA’s grassroots legislative initiative.
