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 first Texas television and radio ads dedicated to protecting consumers from predatory practices in the personal injury system. This new ad campaign, “Strong”, 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 last month 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 $10 million national initiative, aims to support the Texas legislature’s efforts to pass legislation curbing lawsuit abuse. Airing across Texas, the television ad can be viewed here and the radio ad can be listened to 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 $4600 a year.

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.

The PACT Texas television and radio ad campaign launch follows a Texas Senate hearing last week on SB 30, Sen. Charles Schwertner’s lawsuit abuse bill. Throughout the all-day hearing, witness after witness came forward to tell their own personal stories and firsthand experience of lawsuit abuse in Texas, underscoring the need for greater transparency and consumer protections in the industry. As they testified, they gradually exposed the systemic approach some personal injury lawyers take to abuse their clients and drive up costs for all Texans. 

“PACT is focused on delivering common sense reforms to protect consumers, lower costs, and stand up for small businesses that have been victimized by the personal injury system. We encourage all Texas lawmakers to reform the system for the betterment of all families in the Lone Star State,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt. 

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.
