Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York

Lawsuits cost New York taxpayers over a billion dollars a year – we’re working to change that.

If someone breaks into your house and injures themselves, they can sue you – we’re working to change that.

If a worker injures themselves while drunk on the job, the employer is liable – we’re working to change that.
