Lawsuit of the Mo.
The facts are alarming. Lawsuit abuse is a huge problem growing out of control. The severe damage it's causing to American small-business owners, taxpayers, consumers, retirees and working families is shocking. And it's getting worse every day.
Who loses in our current legal system? You Do...
Nearly everyone in America is hurt badly by the lawsuit abuse crisis. Consumers and small businesses are hit hardest.
- In a personal injury lawsuit, the average cost to defend yourself in a non-automotive case is about $7,500 - money you lose, even if you win your case. And if your company or business is sued, it can cost tens of thousands of dollars for a legal defense, even if you win.
- The costs of lawsuits passed on to consumers add up to nearly $1200 per year for every person in America today.
- Every year, Americans spend tens of billions of dollars on legal fees, court costs and individual time and effort in litigation.
- Yet, less than half of the liability dollar ever goes to anyone injured - the rest goes to lawyer fees and court costs.
