Penn Law Supports the Georgia Rights Alliance

The 2021 Georgia legislative session is expected to include a heated debate on tort reform. Several bills in the upcoming General Assembly will likely include revisions to Georgia’s current legal procedures. Penn Law supports the Georgia Rights Alliance (GRA), a group of Georgia citizens committed to protecting the Constitutional rights of all Americans. The GRA is working to defend against corporate lobbyists, insurance companies, and big corporations that attempt to imbalance the scales of justice within our court system in their favor .

We believe that every Georgian deserves the right to seek justice in a court of law against the person or corporation that wronged them. More than 30 lobbying organizations are expected to combine forces for the purpose of passing tort reform legislation during the 2021 session. Proposed bills are projected to seek limitations such as increasing the burden of proof for certain injured individuals in proving their claims and capping awards for punitive damages, which are designed to punish persons or entities whose conduct is considered egregiously negligent or intentional.

Now is the time to educate Georgians and to raise awareness of these potential changes. As a voice for victims, we believe that every citizen should have the ability to fight the person or organization that harmed them in a court of law where they will be held accountable for their actions.

Penn Law supports the Georgia Rights Alliance, and we recommend visiting their website at  https://georgiarightsalliance.org to sign up for more information and to find your legislative representative. Join the GRA Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GARightsAlliance/ to stay up-to-date on these issues. Lastly, we urge all to write to your legislators to let them know you want to stand up against special interest groups and the lobbyists from large corporations and insurance groups.

Now is the time for your voice to be heard.
