Pillars of Our Work
Restore Legal Fairness
We advocate for balanced, transparent laws that stop frivolous lawsuits and excessive verdicts that drive up insurance and business costs.
Grow New York’s Economy
By reforming costly liability laws, we’re helping New York retain jobs, attract investment, and remain competitive.
Lower the Cost of Services
Legal reform helps reduce costs in healthcare, construction, education, and public infrastructure — saving money for every taxpayer.
Current Focus Areas
New York’s civil justice system is one of the most expensive and unbalanced in the nation.
LRANY is working to fix that by advancing smart, targeted reforms that reduce lawsuit abuse, lower costs, and protect the services and industries that keep our state moving forward.
-
Scaffold Law Reform
New York is the only state with an absolute liability scaffold law, inflating construction costs and driving away insurers. We’re fighting to replace it with a comparative negligence standard.
-
Medical Liability Reform
We work to protect healthcare professionals from abusive lawsuits that raise malpractice insurance and reduce access to care.
-
Municipal Liability Reform
Excessive judgments against public schools, cities, and towns threaten essential services. Our reforms aim to reduce this burden on taxpayers.
-
Transparency in Litigation Financing
We support laws that expose hidden litigation investors and hold them accountable for abusive practices.
