Cyrus Dugger at Tort Deform has alerted me to my major competitors in the filing of frivolous lawsuits. Corporate America appears to have clogged up the civil system even more than greedy trial lawyers.

Businesses More Likely to Sue - More Likely to Sue Frivolously

Ironically, a report by Public Citizen demonstrates that despite their opposition to lawsuits by individuals (often filed against corporations) corporations were found to have filed more lawsuits, and more than that, to have filed more frivolous lawsuits than individual people.

"A recent study by Public Citizen found that in 2001 in Arkansas, Mississippi, Cook County Illinois., and Philadelphia, corporations were 3.3-5.8 times more likely to bring a lawsuit than individual tort plaintiffs. The study also found that when these corporations did file lawsuits, they and their attorneys were 69% more likely than individual tort plaintiffs and their attorneys to be sanctioned by federal judges for filing frivolous claims or defenses."
