"The best and only way to reduce litigation from crash victims is to reduce the number of crash victims. The citizens aren't experiencing fake crashes every day, they're experiencing mortal fear crossing the street in New York City."

New York traffic crash victims oppose Governor Hochul's proposals to erode their legal rights to sue for damages, arguing the changes would slash compensation needed for extensive medical care.

Uber-backed advocacy groups like Citizens for Affordable Rates significantly outspend attorney lobbyists and use hired actors in propaganda videos to support the governor's campaign.
