South Carolina Senate Leader Puts Trial Lawyers On Notice
“I’m willing to have good faith conversations… I’m not willing to have bad faith conversations.”

The only people the current structure benefits are trial lawyers. In its current iteration it kills small businesses. Someone can get drunk at home, go to a bar have one drink and then drive away and injure or kill someone and the bar can be held 100% liable even though they are actually less than 10% responsible.
Allocation of comparative fault rules has nothing to do with insurance companies being unfair or dragging out cases. This is a red herring being bandied about by the trial lawyers’ association to protect their immensely unfair gravy train that kills small to mid-sized businesses who are in turn getting killed by the outrageous liability insurance premiums they have to pay to be in business in this state. It adds excessive cost to literally every good and service provided in this state.
