er It’s a complex issue. Tort laws that before 2020 or so, allowed for lawyers to keep cases with the Judge and not the jury so long as damages were under 50k. Happens to be that the wealthier Plaintiff firms were big donors to Judges. Injured plaintiffs can also sue the insurance company in a direct action claim where the jury knows exactly who is footing the bill. Juries who are typically poor and uneducated and dislike big companies. Plaintiffs’ attorneys that have doctors on standby to gin up medical treatment for slightly injured plaintiffs. Four law schools pumping out 150-200 lawyers a year in a state with very little transactional or commercial presence. A culture of “I gotta get mines”.
