Campaign Kicks Off in Georgia with Seven-Figure TV & Digital Investment, Part of a $10 Million National Initiative Launch

PACT aims to protect all consumers from inflated costs and predatory legal practices 

Washington, D.C. – Protecting American Consumers Together (PACT), a 501(c)(4) national advocacy and educational organization, announced the launch of a nationwide campaign to protect consumers from predatory practices in the personal injury system with a seven-figure TV and digital ad campaign in Georgia highlighting a legal environment that undermines fairness in our courtrooms and drives up everyday costs for all Georgians.

PACT’s mission is to stand shoulder to shoulder with consumers impacted by inflated costs, hidden fees, and shady tactics used by personal injury lawyers who prioritize profit over fairness. The Georgia campaign, part of a $10 million national initiative, aims to support Governor Kemp’s recently announced efforts to pass tort reform legislation. The first ad airing this week across Georgia can be viewed here.

Further digital, and television ads will be released in the coming weeks. PACT has also developed a website dedicated to exposing the deceptive practices of the personal injury system, available here.

PACT is focusing its initial efforts on epicenters of predatory legal practices—including Georgia—where personal injury attorneys have a documented history of using aggressive advertising and practices that end up costing their clients and the public.

Georgia is long overdue for tort reform, according to independent studies. Georgia ranked fourth in one group’s “Judicial Hellhole” report released last year. Multiple studies show Georgia’s ‘tort tax’ costs a family of four over $5,000 a year, in addition to causing the loss of 137,658 jobs across the state.

In Georgia, PACT’s efforts will include: 

• TV and digital ads exposing these harmful practices that drive up costs for everyone.
• Supporting state efforts to pass meaningful tort reform this legislative session. 
• Educational initiatives aimed at informing consumers about their rights when they access the legal system and the hidden pitfalls of the current personal injury system. 
• Policy advocacy and data to promote commonsense reforms that prioritize transparency, fairness, and accountability in the legal system. 

PACT is committed to: 

• Lowering costs for families by curbing legal abuse that inflates costs for everyday goods, insurance, and health care.
• Protecting victims from exploitative personal injury attorneys who undermine trust in the legal system. 
• Restoring public trust by promoting transparency and accountability in the legal system while ensuring access for those who need it. 

Advocating for commonsense reforms that protect victims, lower costs for families, and ensure a legal system that is accessible, fair, transparent, and just – putting victims’ wellbeing ahead of attorneys’ profits. 

“PACT is ready to hit the ground running, laser focused on delivering commonsense reforms to protect consumers, lower costs, and stand up for small businesses that have been victimized by the personal injury system,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt. “PACT is taking aim at the exploitative tactics that drive up prices and hurt hardworking Americans, while fighting for a legal system that is fair, transparent, and accessible to everyone.” 

PACT’s Board of Directors is represented by small business owners, consumer advocates, and lawyers. Joining PACT’s Board of Directors are former Florida Speaker of the House Paul Renner, who successfully took on the predatory personal injury system in Florida and ushered in meaningful reforms; Jessica Schmor, a registered nurse and accredited health care fraud investigator; and Tim Capowski, chair of Kahana Feld’s National Appellate Litigation & Consulting Group, a longtime leader in his field of tackling insurance fraud.

Consumers who need to access the legal system deserve to be protected from exploitative practices. Through educational efforts, PACT is launching an aggressive campaign to inform the public and policymakers, as well as advocate for consumer protections that ensure a balanced, just, and trustworthy legal system—giving everyone confidence that their rights are upheld and well-being protected.
