Turning on Those Who Turn to the Courts: Experimental Evidence of Backlash Against Personal Injury Litigants
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2023
Abstract
Do people turn on those who turn to the courts? Using a survey experiment, we find people have significantly more negative attitudes toward personal injury litigants than other types of claimants, even when they believe the claimant is injured and mostly not at fault. Moreover, our subjects were not anti-claim, anti-hiring a lawyer, or even anti-government program. Instead, they were distinctively anti-litigant.
