Georgia Passes Historic Tort Reform — What It Means for You

At Roland, Abbott, & DeZoort Insurance, we don’t just sell policies—we advocate for smart, sustainable policies. That’s why we’re excited to share some important news out of Atlanta and Washington: Georgia has passed a landmark tort reform bill aimed at strengthening our legal system and promoting fairness for individuals, businesses, and insurance providers alike.

As highlighted in the latest issue of DecPage Quarterly—the trusted voice of the Independent Insurance Agents of Georgia—this reform marks a major victory for our industry and for clients across the state. By reducing excessive litigation and ensuring more balanced liability standards, Georgia is creating a more stable insurance environment for families, business owners, and communities.

Why This Matters to You

• Lower Premiums Over Time: With reduced legal risk, insurers can pass savings along to clients through stabilizing premiums and more competitive rates.

• Greater Protection for Small Businesses: Tort reform helps shield small and mid-sized companies from frivolous lawsuits that can cripple operations.

• Improved Access to Coverage: A more predictable legal climate encourages more insurers to participate in the Georgia market, expanding your options.

Our team at Roland, Abbott, & DeZoort was proud to be represented in Atlanta during this historic moment. As your local independent insurance agency, we stay connected with the decision-makers and legislative movements that shape the future of our industry—because you deserve a partner who’s not just responsive, but proactive.
