"We Are SC Business" Rally
We are at a critical moment in our fight for tort reform. S.244 is now before the full Senate, and we must act. The lawsuit industry is flooding lawmakers with misinformation—now is our time to set the record straight.
Attend the “We Are SC Business” Rally – March 5th at 11:00 AM at the Statehouse. Show our strength with hard hats, vests, and a strong turnout!
Why It Matters:
✔ Fairness & Accountability – Prevents businesses from being forced to pay for damages they didn’t cause and ensures builders and sub-contractors are not indefinitely exposed to litigation.
✔ Legal Predictability – Ensures all responsible parties are held accountable—not just the easiest target.
✔ Lower Insurance Costs – South Carolina businesses pay 49% higher insurance rates than North Carolina. The main reason is our broken legal system and the loopholes in our statute of repose.
✔ We Are Losing Coverage – Nine major insurers have stopped writing general liability policies for subcontractors working with builders, especially, in coastal counties. Without reform, more will follow.
✔ This is NOT About Big Insurance – Our tort laws make South Carolina an outlier, driving insurers out of the market and leaving builders, subcontractors, and small businesses with skyrocketing costs or no coverage at all.
