The US has an extremely litigious culture, in part because we allow direct to plaintiff advertising and in these types of cases the lawyer usually only gets paid if they win. That makes the lawyer very aggressive and there's no or very little risk for the plaintiffs to go for it.


I think it's more a case of "don't hate the player, hate the game".
