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, today announced the launch of its second television ad dedicated to protecting consumers from predatory practices in the personal injury system. This new ad, “Standing Up”, is part of PACT’s seven-figure TV and digital ad campaign in Georgia highlighting the need to pass reform to end lawsuit abuse that hurts consumers 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 questionable 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 efforts to pass tort reform legislation. The second ad airing this week across Georgia can be viewed here. 

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 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 continues to be 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. We are proud to support leaders like Governor Brian Kemp who is pushing to pass lawsuit abuse reform in the state. We encourage all Georgia lawmakers to reform the system for the betterment of all families in the Peach State,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt. 

Consumers who need to access the legal system deserve to be protected from exploitative practices. Through educational efforts, PACT is running 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.
