"Personal Injury Trust Fund Transparency Act;" requires plaintiff to file personal injury trust claims under certain circumstances; addresses allocation of trust claims; establishes scheduling and discovery requirements for certain tort actions.
This bill requires plaintiffs in personal injury or tort cases to file all relevant personal injury trust claims within 30 days of filing their case, or face dismissal. It mandates that plaintiffs provide sworn statements confirming they've investigated all possible trust claims and submit all related documents (like medical records and settlement materials) to the court and opposing parties. The law also sets a 180-day waiting period before trial to ensure all trust claims are resolved first, and allows defendants to request a case stay if new trust claims emerge. This directly affects plaintiffs, their attorneys, and defendants in personal injury cases involving trust funds, focusing on transparency and timely disclosure of all potential compensation sources.
