Americans for Tax Reform has published a new report titled “Lawsuit Abuse is Leading to an Affordability Crisis.”
The report focuses on the problem of lawsuit abuse and its role as a significant driver of rising costs for American households. The report recommends extending the Graves Amendment of 2005, which limited vicarious liability for rental car companies, to also cover transportation network companies (TNCs), known more commonly as rideshare companies.
Congress is currently working on surface transportation reauthorization legislation, which must be passed before current provisions expire in September 2026. This legislative window provides a timely opportunity to expand the Graves Amendment to apply to TNCs.
