Texas lawmakers are advancing legislation aimed at limiting lawsuits against trucking companies and capping damages, raising concerns among critics regarding the potential implications of these proposed bills. In Georgia, a similar initiative led by Republican Governor Brian Kemp to restrict lawsuits and large jury verdicts has gained traction, clearing another legislative hurdle and set for a House vote this week. This comes amidst increasing backlash against the tort reform push, as Walmart challenges a $1 million injury verdict, highlighting the contentious nature of these reforms in both states.
