Group’s Second Texas Television Ad Highlights Need to End Lawsuit Abuse
Washington, D.C. – Protecting American Consumers Together (PACT), a 501(c)(4) national advocacy and educational organization, today announced the launch of its second Texas television ad about the need to protect consumers and end lawsuit abuse in the Lone Star State.
This new ad, “Powerhouse”, is part of PACT’s seven-figure TV and digital ad campaign in Texas highlighting the need to pass reform to end lawsuit abuse that hurts consumers, drives up everyday costs for all Texans, and fundamentally threatens the state’s strong economy.
PACT launched in Texas in March with a mission 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 Texas campaign, part of a more than $10 million national initiative, aims to support the Texas legislature’s efforts to pass legislation curbing lawsuit abuse. Airing across Texas, the new television ad can be viewed here.
Texas boasts the world’s 8th largest economy but is long overdue for lawsuit abuse reform. Multiple studies show that the economic impact of excessive litigation costs hardworking Texas families nearly $4,600 a year. Further, a new study from the Texas-based Perryman Group showed that lawsuit abuse costs the average Texas family $5,549 per year – the ninth highest state in the nation.
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.
“Texas is an economic powerhouse, but the hidden tax caused by lawsuit abuse is passed on to hard-working families in the Lone Star State. We encourage Texas legislators to stand up for everyday Texans and deliver common sense reforms to protect consumers, lower costs and support small businesses in the state,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt.
Last month, PACT released a new poll that showed a vast majority of Texans believe lawsuit abuse is a key factor driving up the price of goods and services, and want their legislators to take action to fix the system.
Nationally, PACT is engaged in efforts at the federal level to drive awareness and reform around the personal injury system. 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 successful legislative effort to lower costs for families. In addition, PACT is active in California and Louisiana.
