State Rep. Torren Ecker | Pennsylvania 193rd Legislative District
During a press conference in Harrisburg, Representative Torren Ecker, along with fellow lawmakers, emphasized the necessity for tort reform in Pennsylvania. The discussion centered on the impact of excessive litigation on families and businesses.
Rep. Ecker stated, “Our civil justice system must protect the innocent while eliminating the burdens that hinder growth. By reforming our tort system, we can create an environment where innovation thrives, and all Pennsylvanians can enjoy a higher quality of life.”
He highlighted the rising costs linked to predatory lawsuits, particularly affecting the healthcare sector. According to Ecker, inflated liability premiums ultimately have negative consequences for patients. He also noted that third-party litigation prolongs legal battles and primarily benefits litigators.
Ecker and his colleagues are focused on passing legislation aimed at ensuring fairness, promoting economic growth, and establishing a level playing field for all citizens.
