A few years ago the Republican-dominated Texas legislature enacted a series of limitations on plaintiffs' ability to recover for personal injury cases, including caps on non-economic damages and changes in the way damages are calculated when more than one party is at fault. The Texas Monthly has an article on what it has meant for the average Texan, which is not good. It has become impossible for many injured Texans to get redress in the courts. Mississippi is following in the footsteps of Texas. Never have so many been bamboozled by so few.

Hurt? Injured? Need a lawyer? Too bad.
