California’s public liability costs have tripled in just seven years, and the communities feeling it most may not even know why. In this episode, host Amy Conley sits down with Marinda Griese and Beth Lyons to unpack CAJPA’s Protecting Public Funds project, a landmark research initiative examining how escalating liability claims are eroding community well-being across the state.
From “nuclear verdicts” to joint and several liability, they break down what’s driving the crisis, what the newly released Beacon Economics report reveals, and why a small fraction of claims are consuming nearly 70% of total costs. Most importantly, they share what local agencies can do right now to support meaningful tort reform.
