A Fair and Balanced Civil Litigation System
That Works for Everyone
Our Mission
Modernizing Kentucky’s civil litigation system through smart legal liability reform is the next step in ensuring fairness, balance and predictability for everyone while taking the lawsuit bullseye off our businesses and healthcare providers.
Kentucky has an outdated and imbalanced legal liability system that allows big trial lawyers from across the country to prey upon our businesses and healthcare providers, increasing costs for everyone.
It’s time to level the playing field so that we can maintain the historic momentum that is helping Kentucky compete for new opportunities, more jobs, better wages, and expanded access to affordable healthcare.
Kentucky Needs Smart Legal Liability Reform NOW!
The Impact of Our Outdated Civil Litigation System:
Kentucky’s outdated and imbalanced civil litigation system is hurting our businesses, increasing healthcare costs, and forcing Kentucky families to pay more. The US Chamber of Commerce ranks our legal liability climate 40th in the nation as it places unlimited risk on our businesses and healthcare providers, leaving Kentucky at a severe disadvantage to the majority of other states that have already enacted smart reforms.
40th – Kentucky’s Legal Liability Climate Ranking
2.13% – Tort Costs as Percentage of State GDP
$2,808 – Annual Total Tort Costs Per Kentucky Household
$4.9 Billion – Total Tort Costs Paid in Kentucky (2024)
4.4% – Average Growth Rate of Tort Costs in Kentucky (2016-2022)
