Fighting for Consumer Rights: Tyler Staggs Featured in Public News Service Article on Insurance Accountability


At Spooner Staggs Trial Lawyers, we are dedicated to protecting consumers from unfair insurance practices. That’s why we are proud to share that our own Tyler Staggs was recently quoted in a Public News Service article discussing new legislation aimed at holding insurance companies accountable under the Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA).

The Importance of the Legislation

For too long, insurance companies have been able to deny, delay, or underpay valid claims with little consequence. Oregon’s UTPA has been in place to protect consumers from deceptive business practices, but until now, it has not applied to the insurance industry. This new legislation seeks to change that, ensuring that insurers play by the same rules as other businesses and treat policyholders fairly.

Tyler Staggs, who has seen firsthand how insurance companies take advantage of consumers, spoke to Public News Service about the significance of this bill. He emphasized the need for stronger enforcement mechanisms to prevent bad faith practices and give policyholders the legal tools they need to fight back.

What This Means for Oregon Consumers

If passed, this legislation will provide Oregonians with a powerful means to hold their insurance providers accountable. Consumers who have been wrongfully denied coverage or subjected to unfair claim practices will have a clear legal path to seek justice. This bill represents a critical step toward fairness, transparency, and accountability in the insurance industry.
