GAMESQ, PLC Stands Against Tort Reform Other Personal Injury Lawyers Vote to Cap Your Recovery

follow me

GAMESQ, PLC fights for every dollar you deserve after a crash—but some Arizona personal injury lawyers secretly vote for politicians who want to slash your compensation.

When you’re lying in a hospital bed after a devastating car accident, worried about medical bills piling up while you can’t work, the last thing you expect is that your own lawyer might have voted to limit your recovery. But here’s the shocking truth: many personal injury attorneys across Arizona cast their ballots for Trump and Republican candidates who push “tort reform”—laws designed to cap how much money you can get for your pain, suffering, and life-altering injuries.

GAMESQ, PLC takes a different stand. Founder Garrick McFadden, an AV-rated Black Arizona car accident lawyer, has been transparent about his support for Democratic lawmakers who oppose these compensation caps. As Co-Chair of the Maricopa County Democratic Party’s Black Engagement Committee, McFadden works with politicians who believe accident victims deserve full compensation—not arbitrary limits that protect insurance companies. Meanwhile, other Surprise, Arizona, personal injury lawyers quietly donate to and vote for the very politicians working to strip away your rights.

The Hidden Betrayal: How Your Lawyer’s Vote Hurts Your Case

Here’s what tort reform really means for you:

  • Damage caps that say your lifetime of agony is worth no more than $250,000—even if you lost both legs
  • Shortened deadlines that give you less time to file your claim while you’re still recovering
  • Higher burdens of proof that make it harder
  • Forced arbitration that takes away your right to a jury trial

These aren’t abstract policy debates. This is about real money being taken from real victims. In states with tort reform, a child who loses three limbs might get just $11 per day for a lifetime of suffering. A family devastated by medical malpractice could see their compensation slashed by millions. And who benefits? Insurance companies that already make billions in profits.

Yet across Arizona, personal injury lawyers who claim to fight for victims are voting for the very politicians pushing these limits. Take Dan Newlin, a Florida personal injury attorney who spent $2.8 million on Trump campaign ads. He makes millions representing accident victims, then turns around and supports politicians who want to cap what those victims can recover. This is the height of hypocrisy.

Why Supporting Trump Means Betraying Your Clients

The Republican Party has made tort reform a cornerstone of their platform for decades. They want to:

  • Cap pain and suffering damages at amounts that haven’t been adjusted for inflation since the 1970s
  • Create “loser pays” systems that scare injured people away from seeking justice
  • Require expensive medical experts before you can even file a claim
  • Shift cases to federal court where victims have less chance of winning

Trump himself has called for damage caps and supported making it harder to sue. His administration worked to limit lawsuits and reduce what injured people can recover. Every vote for Trump is a vote against fair compensation for accident victims.

Arizona is one of the few states that constitutionally prohibits damage caps. Our state constitution says clearly: “No law shall be enacted in this state limiting the amount of damages to be recovered for causing the death or injury of any person.” But federal tort reform could override these protections, leaving Arizona victims at the mercy of insurance companies.

The Truth About Who Benefits from Tort Reform

Insurance companies and big corporations spend millions convincing people that lawsuits are out of control. They create myths about “frivolous lawsuits” and “jackpot justice.” But here’s what they don’t tell you:

  • Less than 5% of injury cases even go to trial
  • Most victims would trade any amount of money to have their health back
  • Insurance companies spend more on lobbying than they pay in claims
  • Juries already award reasonable compensation—caps only hurt the most severely injured

The real goal of tort reform isn’t fairness—it’s profit. When damages are capped, insurance companies can take bigger risks with your safety because they know their liability is limited. They can lowball settlements because victims have no leverage. And they can deny valid claims knowing that lawyers won’t take cases that aren’t profitable enough under the caps.

GAMESQ, PLC: Fighting for Full Justice

While other Avondale car accident law firms hedge their bets, GAMESQ, PLC stands firmly with accident victims. Garrick McFadden doesn’t just talk about fighting for the injured—he backs it up with action:

  • Actively supporting Democratic candidates who oppose tort reform
  • Speaking out against damage caps and insurance company tactics
  • Working within the Democratic Party to protect victim rights
  • Being transparent about his political positions

“You can Google my name and see the positions I hold, the work I’ve done, and who I’ve supported,” McFadden says. This transparency matters because your lawyer’s political choices directly impact your case.

The Simple Question That Reveals Everything

Before you hire any personal injury lawyer in Arizona, ask them one simple question: “Did you vote for Trump in 2024?”

If they say yes, you need to understand what that means:

  • They voted for damage caps that could slash your compensation
  • They supported politicians who side with insurance companies over victims
  • They prioritized partisan politics over their clients’ interests
  • They’re comfortable with hypocrisy that hurts injured people

A lawyer who votes for tort reform politicians is like a doctor who invests in tobacco companies. They’re betting against your best interests while claiming to represent you.

The Cost of Staying Silent

Some might say politics shouldn’t matter in choosing a lawyer. But when those politics directly affect how much money you can recover for your injuries, silence is complicity. Every Arizona personal injury lawyer who voted for Trump made a choice:

  • Insurance company profits over victim compensation
  • Corporate protection over individual rights
  • Party loyalty over professional integrity

The personal injury lawyers who support tort reform count on victims not understanding the connection. They assume you won’t ask about their politics. They hope you’ll focus on their TV ads instead of their voting record. Don’t let them get away with it.

Take Action: Protect Your Rights

The insurance companies are organized. The corporations pushing tort reform have lobbyists in every state capital. The only way to fight back is for accident victims to get informed and demand accountability from their lawyers.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Ask every lawyer you consider: “Did you vote for Trump in 2024?”
  2. If they say yes, find another lawyer who truly stands with victims
  3. Spread the word—share this information with anyone who might need a lawyer
  4. Support lawyers like Garrick McFadden who publicly oppose tort reform
  5. Vote for candidates who protect victim rights, not insurance profits

Your injuries are real. Your pain is valid. Your losses deserve full compensation. Don’t let any lawyer who voted for Trump tell you otherwise.

GAMESQ, PLC proves that Arizona personal injury lawyers can succeed without selling out their clients. While others chase political favor with Republicans pushing tort reform, Garrick McFadden stands firm: your injuries, our fight, your win. No damage caps. No shortcuts. No compromises with politicians who want to limit your recovery.

The choice is yours. You can hire a lawyer who voted to cap your compensation, or you can choose one who fights for every dollar you deserve. Ask the question. Demand the truth. Your future depends on it.
