Representatives of the insurance industry, the medical community and other businesses voiced strong support today for an announcement by the Senate Republican Conference of a legislative agenda to reform the civil litigation process.
Among the issues Republicans are seeking to address are the asbestos litigation reform bill, medical malpractice lawsuit reform, and frivolous lawsuits against restaurants and food distributors.
The press conference was attended by the SRC chairman, Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn., as well as Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Arlen Specter, R-Penn., who chairs the Judiciary Committee.
