Re: Pennsylvania Tort Law
Good question.
Some politicians, influenced by big business and insurance interests, are trying to change laws to make it harder for victims to recovery compensation. There are frequently proposals to further restrict medical malpractice claims, put limits on the amounts that can be recovered, and abolish joint liability for multiple wrongdoers.
A good place to find lots of information about this issue is on the PA Trial Lawyers Assn web site:
