I don’t see how mandatory disclosure of insurance limits reforms the tort laws. There is no reason why a plaintiff needs to know how much insurance is carried.
I mean you can make this non-mandatory but it will have to be provided in discovery.
Hell, when the defendant is under oath in deposition they'd be obligated to tell you (and the insurer and its chosen attorney would create a conflict of interest in preventing the defendant from revealing this information).
Now, you can argue the jury doesn't need to know.

If two people suffer the same injury, under the same circumstances, with the same post injury consequences and outcome, why should the jury award differ simply because one defendant is less wealthy than the other?

Defendant can choose to not answer the question.
It’s interesting to me that rewards are often aligned with the amount of insurance a person carries.
If I have an auto accident and only carry the minimum, then that is what get sued for. If I carry 5 mil limit, I get sued for 5mil.
Curious isn’t it?
