Pennsylvania remains unfriendly to businesses and medical professionals who risk having to defend frivolous lawsuits and receiving unreasonable court judgments. Our antiquated legal system is in need of reform. Providing business a fair, predictable and even-handed legal system would provide a "stimulus" to Pennsylvania's lagging economy.

The high legal costs paid by Pennsylvania employers stunt the Commonwealth's economic growth and job creation. We need to inject fairness, common sense and personal responsibility into our courts by continuing to reform our antiquated legal system. Legal reform must include:

• Repeal of joint and several liability.
• Protection of innocent sellers.
• Statute of repose in product liability.
• Caps on non-economic damages.
• Limiting recovery of punitive damages.
