Running a small business in New York is exceptionally challenging due to stringent compliance requirements and a detrimental legal landscape. Ranked as the second worst state for startups, small businesses face a hostile liability environment that affects their operational costs and overall viability. Proposed legislation threatens to exacerbate the situation, allowing for easy legal action by attorneys against small firms, effectively functioning as a private tax. These measures may drive small businesses into settling frivolous claims rather than risk expensive court battles, taking essential resources away from them and harming consumers in the process.
Running a small business is an uphill battle, especially in today's tough economic conditions. Adding insult to injury, New York state smothers small firms with complicated and expensive compliance demands and the country's most hostile liability environment.
Rather than help independent business owners and struggling families by reducing costs and easing regulatory burdens, lawmakers are considering a number of bills that would turn local shops and restaurants into targets for predatory lawsuits.
