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 one of “Consumer Talk” — a recurring video series explaining America’s civil justice system.

The first episode in “Consumer Talk” is titled — “What is Tort Reform?” which outlines the benefits of reform for victims and consumers.  

The series will explore lawsuit abuse, the predatory aspects of America’s personal injury system, ways that consumers can protect themselves, and how to advocate for change. 

This new series launches today, and is available to watch here.

“For years, people have heard the words ‘tort reform’ and wondered what it really means,” said Lauren Zelt. “Episode one of PACT’s new Consumer Talk series goes behind the legalese and into the tangible consequences of lawsuit abuse on consumers, such as the $4,200 a year it costs the average American family. Further, ‘What is Tort Reform’ explains how ending lawsuit abuse preserves access to the justice system while protecting consumers, a critical component of PACT’s mission,” Zelt continued. 

PACT’s “Consumer Talk” series builds 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.
