It's usually way over exaggerated in the US. The "I'm suing for $50000000 because I was the stupid one" is rare, which is why it hits the news. While it's true we have lots of lawyers, you need them for everything from making wills to starting a business. They're not all criminal/civil and I'd be willing to bet that a lot have never seen the inside of a courtroom, they're just there to make sure all the T's are crossed and i's dotted properly in legal contracts. My company is rather small, but has four lawyers just to interpret EU to NA trademark/copyright/contracts/etc... When it comes to "who's actually more litigious", the US doesn't actually come close to Germany; Sweden; Israel; or Austria. "Here is a list of the top 5 most litigious countries by capita: 1. Germany: 123.2/1,000 2. Sweden: 111.2/1,000 3. Israel: 96.8/1,000 4. Austria: 95.9/1,000 5. U.S.: 74.5/1,000. The Top 10 also includes the UK (64.4); Denmark (62.5); Hungary (52.4); Portugal (40.7); and France (40.3)." https://eaccny.com/news/member-news/dont-let-these-10-legal-myths-stop-your-doing-business-in-the-u-s-myths-6-and-7-the-u-s-is-very-litigious-and-that-is-too-threatening-to-a-small-company-like-ours-as-a-result-the-risk/ https://eaccny.com/news/member-news/dont-let-these-10-legal-...
