Protect Marylanders from Higher Costs

Marylanders are struggling with an affordability crisis across our economy – health care, groceries, housing, fuel, utilities, and more. Our state lawmakers should be looking for ways to help, not to add to those costs. 

Limits on non-economic damages have been shown to keep prices low, reduce excessive lawsuits, and slow the pace of insurance cost increases.    

Maryland is a generous and compassionate state. It allows more types of non-economic damages to be awarded than neighboring states that do not have caps.   

Dramatically raising or eliminating Maryland’s cap could increase prices, legal fees, and insurance rates, making it more expensive for residents and businesses. That hurts Maryland at a time when the state can least afford it.
