Washington, D.C. — Today, Protecting American Consumers Together (PACT), a national advocacy and educational organization dedicated to standing up for plaintiffs, victims, and consumers to ensure they can access a fair and transparent legal process, is launching episode two of “Billboard Lawyers Ruin Everything” — a recurring video series focusing on the ways frivolous lawsuits are negatively impacting daily life in the United States.

The second episode in “Billboard Lawyers Ruin Everything” is titled “Small Business” and it highlights egregious examples of frivolous lawsuits closing small businesses. This digital ad shows how lawsuits over “Ladies Night”, a pair of pants, and burgers closed businesses that had previously served as central points in their respective communities. 

“Small Business” follows “Childhood”, the first episode in the “Billboard Lawyers Ruin Everything” series, which currently has 275,000 views online. 

“Small Business” launches today, and is available to watch here.

“Lawsuit abuse affects virtually all aspects of American life,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt. “Our latest digital ad highlights the very real effects of frivolous litigation on small businesses across the country, many of which are one lawsuit away from closing their doors for good,” Zelt continued.

PACT’s “Billboard Attorneys Ruin Everything Series” is the second video series to be released this fall, following the recent release of the “Consumer Talk” series. Consumer Talk Episode One, “What Is Tort Reform”, can be viewed here and Consumer Talk Episode Two, “Staged Accidents”, can be viewed here. 

Both new video series build upon the organization’s Explainer Video, a 5-minute summary of the shocking truth behind billboard attorneys. The Explainer Video has been viewed over 5.5 million times digitally and is available to watch here.
