Do you live in a litigious place?

Posted on September 9, 2022

The United States is the most litigious country on earth, and this isn't just a recent trend. In fact, the US has been ranked as one of the most litigious countries every year for literally decades. This high level of litigation is likely due to a number of factors, including an expansive tort system that allows people to sue for damages even if they have never had direct contact with the person or thing that they are suing over, contingency attorneys, and that there are no consequences for 'nuisance' lawsuits here. Additionally, there is a growing tendency among Americans to file lawsuits not only when they feel wronged but also as part of their personal brand marketing strategy.

Other countries within the top 10 include Canada (ranked 2nd), Germany (3rd), France (4th), UK (5th), Italy (6th), Spain(7th) and Sweden(8th). While these rankings may be indicative of certain national cultures or legal systems, it's important to remember that no country is immune from legal issues.
