Maybe that’s what allows other countries to keep going with socialized care. In most other countries “loser pays”, so lawyers take their clients VERY selectively. I remember being in England and they had a talk show about the difference in UK care versus US. One man spoke about how a physician in the UK can stop by an accident and render aid without worrying about being sued. In the US, the doctor had better just drive by.

Well it´s actually the opposite. The lawyers just don´t care
(why should they? Because they will get paid anyway from
the “loser”) it´s more the clients who are selective because
of that.
