Well, good for them - tort reform works every time it's tried. California has had MICRA in place since 1976 - took awhile but suits were much better focused and loss ratios improved dramatically. In the bad old days in Texas, they had venue shopping to the max (Eagle Pass in Mavrick county a favorite)- the legislature passed three rounds of tort reform and now carriers are clamoring to write in Texas again. so I guess it's adios to filing in Lucerene or Lackawana counties when your cause of action accrues,say,in Pittsburgh
