Urge them to oppose A.9232 / S.8485
New York Cannot Afford One More Cost Hike.
Every Dollar Spent On Liability Is A Dollar Wasted.
S.8485 passed by both houses of the New York Legislature will dramatically expand the types of damages recoverable in wrongful death lawsuits – and send insurance costs skyrocketing.
The bill will soon be sent to Governor Hochul to veto or sign. New Yorkers can’t afford for her to sign it.
