The Results Are In...

Survey says… “Two-thirds of California voters think the number of lawsuits filed against businesses or public entities in California has hurt the state’s economy.”

That’s according to a survey conducted by Charlton Research Co. for California Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse, as reported by the Sacramento Business Journal.

The survey of 600 Californians found that “more than seven out of 10 voters think California’s liability laws make it harder for employers to succeed in the state — and 74 percent think enacting lawsuit reform is an important part of improving the business climate.”

Californians agree with us – they think that lawsuit abuse is hurting their state and its economy.

The survey also found that “42 percent of voters think personal injury lawyers benefit most from abusive lawsuits” while “37 percent think people looking for a way to cash in benefit most.”

If Californians get that lawsuit abuse is a problem, why is taking the state’s legislators so long to get the picture?
