Citizens in Chains: The High Cost of Prisoner Lawsuits to California Taxpayers
A criminal’s burden on society does not end upon conviction – in many ways it is just beginning. Very few people realize how much money goes into the housing and care of convicted criminals. click for more...

Litigation Costs and Opportunities Lost.
Lawsuit abuse negatively impacts more than just defendants; it also has indirect economic impacts. A recent study by Tillinghast-Towers Perrin found that every American pays an extra $880 each year to offset the costs of lawsuit abuse.

Personal injury lawyers and uninjured plaintiffs are gaming our legal system in an attempt to get rich. Their never-ending lawsuit schemes are taking compensation away from those who are truly injured and destroying our healthcare system in the process.

No part of our healthcare system is safe from attack. Doctors, hospitals and the makers of our medicines are being sued.

What’s at risk?

■ Your doctor
■ Your healthcare choices
■ Your access to care
■ Justice for injured patients
■ The healthcare we all depend upon

Orange County Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse
Background
Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) was formed in the fall of 1993 as a California corporation to combat the current bureaucracy that perpetuates the state's costly avalanche of lawsuits. This grassroots organization was formed in response to a civil justice system that encourages both people to sue and lawyers to take advantage of victims. Our leadership is a group of small business and professional people from the greater Orange County area who are all united in our passion for meaningful reform of an out-of-control civil litigation system. We believe that tort reform has not been adequately addressed by our lawmakers because of the influence of special interest groups on the legislative process. We feel the public must become engaged in the debate over legal reform before California can solve it's lawsuit crisis.

Examples of lawsuit abuse that happen every day...

Burned in the act...
A convicted bank robber on parole entered a bank, went up to the teller and said, "Give me the money, I've got a bomb". The bank teller did as instructed, except that hidden in the rolls of money turned over to the robber was an anti-robbery device that released tear gas. The device functioned as intended...and the robber sued the bank!

Junk food, junk lawsuit...
A man who had eaten a lot of sugary snack food fell out of a tree...and sued the snack food company for $100 million in damages!
