Two bills currently moving through the Texas Legislature—Senate Bill 30 (SB 30) and House Bill 4806 (HB 4806)—may seem technical or harmless on the surface. But for personal injury victims across Texas, these proposals could change everything.
At Glen Larson Law Injury Attorneys in Austin, we believe in protecting the rights of injured Texans—not padding the pockets of insurance companies. If these bills become law, they will drastically limit access to care and justice for those hurt through no fault of their own.
What SB 30 & HB 4806 Would Do
Backed by powerful insurance and corporate lobbyists, SB 30 and HB 4806 seek to change how injured individuals are compensated for their medical care and personal suffering.
Specifically, these bills would do the following:
- Limit the amount a patient can recover for their medical expenses, regardless of the care they received or need in the future.
- Cap damages for pain, suffering, and mental anguish, even in catastrophic injury or loss cases.
- Restrict access to specialized private medical care, especially care arranged on a lien basis when insurance isn’t available.
In a state like Texas—where millions are underinsured and access to affordable care is already a challenge—this legislation will make it even harder for injured people to get treatment and support.
Who Benefits from These Laws? Not You.
SB 30 and HB 4806 are windfalls for insurance companies. These bills reduce what insurers must pay after someone is harmed, regardless of the injury’s seriousness or the care costs. By limiting compensation, insurers protect their profits—but victims are left with the bill.
Meanwhile, injured Texans cannot freely choose their doctors or pursue the compensation they need for long-term recovery. In many cases, patients rely on providers willing to treat them now and get paid later—something this legislation would undermine by arbitrarily limiting how much can be recovered for medical costs.
Why Judges and Juries Should Decide—Not Politicians
In our justice system, judges and juries are trusted to hear the facts of a case and determine what is fair. SB 30 and HB 4806 remove that power and hand it to lawmakers influenced by special interests.
These bills limit care and compensation and restrict your right to hold negligent parties accountable. Whether you’re hurt in a crash, by a defective product, or through medical malpractice, your case could be subject to one-size-fits-all caps that don’t reflect your real suffering or needs.
Protect Your Rights—And Stand Up for the Injured
At Glen Larson Law Injury Attorneys, we stand with personal injury victims across Texas. SB 30 and HB 4806 are dangerous attempts to rewrite the rules in favor of big insurance at the expense of real people who need help. We urge all Texans to speak and tell lawmakers: Vote NO on SB 30 and HB 4806.
Your rights, care, and access to justice are too necessary to be compromised.
