generally tort reform is awful for pi attorneys, but I see how tort reform is sort of neutral sounding and you could reform it in many ways to benefit pi attorneys

It used to be heaven, but now caps non-economic at $250k. You could still do a decent PI practice though, based on volume like CSLGs.

eh if they capped at 250k in my state i would move. completely fucks up the business model. the point of a high volume practice is to land the relatively rare monster case.

what's a decent floor for non-economic damages when looking at different states? I know some states don't have them at all.

Do they even matter in low-dollar fender benders?

Texas sounds like a bad place to open a PI shop. juries aren't gonna pay shit for illegals, and tort reform has already fucked up the evidence rules and juror attitudes.

Florida is no fault and still pretty damn good for pi. Non economics aren’t capped. It’s maybe not a good place to do volume because of statutory min insurance coverage being only $10k

Off the top of my head here’s a list of factors that make a staeat good. CA is the only one I know of that checks all boxes on plaintiff side:

No fault vs straight tort

Permanent injury threshold to bring suit

Cap on non-economics

Cap on punitives

Minimmm statutory insurance of $25k or more

Statutory disclosure of insurance coverage

Activist appellate court

Presuit conditions precedent to suing on various types of claims

Proposal for settlement statute enabling collection of fees for prevailing party

Mandatory mediation

Im sure I’ll think of several others. CA literally checks the box on all.

probably better than you think. texas juries are way more generous than their red-state status would suggest. Texas Rules of Civil Procedure are a nightmare though
