In this episode of Crane Talk, hosts Ron Thompson and Gene Greiner sit down with Lee Parsley, President and General Counsel of Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR), to discuss the pressing issues surrounding Texas' legal environment and its impact on the crane, rigging, and heavy construction industries. Lee explains how "nuclear verdicts," fraudulent medical claims, and third-party litigation funding are driving up insurance premiums and creating unsustainable financial pressures for small and mid-sized businesses. He also breaks down House Bill 19, a legislative effort to reduce lawsuit abuse in commercial vehicle cases, and why its current implementation has fallen short.
