Definition
Alteration in tort infractions that impose some sort of civil penalty as a method of reducing the amount of money that an injured party can receive in tort litigation cases. Parties advocating tort reform usually do so with the hopes of eliminating the adverse effects of litigation on the economy. For instance, the high cost of malpractice lawsuits could raise the cost of medical coverage thus impacting the overall economy.
