Tort reform does not reduce insurance premiums

"The main beneficiaries of tort reform would be the insurance companies that provide malpractice insurance, according to the president of the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorneys. In speaking Tuesday to the Henderson City Lions Club, A.V. Conway presented figures showing that those states that have instituted tort reform -- which essentially boils down to limits on jury awards -- have seen the same type of insurance premium increases as those states that have not."
