PACT launched earlier this year and has focused its efforts on ending the exploitative practices of the predatory personal injury system — commonly known as billboard attorneys — who use aggressive tactics that drive up costs for every American, all while undermining trust in the legal system. After a successful campaign launch in January, PACT is expanding its efforts to states across the country to raise awareness and push for commonsense reforms to the personal injury system.

PACT’s Texas efforts are aimed at supporting legislation to end lawsuit abuse, which will protect consumers and lower costs for families. Momentum is on the side of acting, and Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick recently listed lawsuit abuse reform legislation as a “priority” this session. As legislative efforts develop, PACT’s Texas campaign will include a paid advertising campaign, spanning radio, television, newspaper ads, and digital, as well as policy education communications, grassroots organizing, and rapid response efforts.

Nationally, PACT is engaged in efforts at the federal level to drive awareness and reform around the personal injury system. A national poll conducted by PACT last month found that 74% of voters believe that Congress and the Trump Administration should eliminate the hidden tax brought by lawsuit abuse. PACT has also focused its state-level efforts on Georgia, where it has undertaken a seven-figure ad campaign aimed at supporting Governor Kemp’s legislation to lower costs for families.
