Tort Reform

  • Why Tort Reform? Michael B. Younan plans on working to bring greater equality, predictability, and efficiency to the State's civil justice system. This will involve the enactment of state and federal laws that will make the system fair for everyone.
  • High Stakes: Today, America's $246 billion Civil Justice System is the most expensive in the industrialized world. Aggressive personal injury lawyers target certain professions, industries, and individual companies as profit centers. They systematically recruit clients who may never have suffered a real illness or injury and use scare tactics, combined with the promise of awards, to bring these people into massive class action suits. They effectively tap the media to rally sentiment for multi-million dollar punitive damage awards. This leads many companies to settle questionable lawsuits just to stay out of court.  Michael will fight to make sure this stays out of Illinois!
