Thread Drift - Tort Reform
I lived in the UK for over 3 years and in the Netherlands for 4. They do not have near the number of lawsuits for one reason. If you sue and lose, you have to pay all the costs of the person you sued plus court costs.
That forces someone to make sure there is a real case before suing or risk making themselves bankrupt.
Of course this will never happen here since so many lawyers make too much money from the lawsuit culture we have developed in the US.
