Report: Florida files more personal injury lawsuits than any other state — by far

A new report on states with the highest amount of personal injury lawsuits reveals partially why tort reform was such a big priority in the most recent Legislative Session.

The state, in short, crushes all comers in this area.

For starters, the report, analyzing 12 months of lawsuits filed through March 31, found that per 100,000 Floridians, there were 127.41 personal injury cases in court. “This is a staggering 1,237% over the national average rate of just 9.53, and 319% more than any other state on the list,” states the report.
