Floridians accounted for over half of all personal injury cases filed in the US last year, with 62.1% of cases being filed statewide.
This high percentage is attributed to the leniency of Florida’s legal system, which has lacked reform for decades. Ohio, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Illinois also ranked high in the number of personal injury cases filed.
The situation is believed to be influenced by political factors, with parties taking advantage of legal loopholes.
