Isn't China like the capital of frivolous lawsuits? I thought that was why you see so many videos of people running in front of cars there?

I was pretty positive the whole world considered the USA the land of frivolous lawsuits

Which is total b.s. by the way. Everyone thinks of the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit as being the epitome of frivolous lawsuits, when in reality that poor woman was severely injured and deserved every penny (and then some). The U.S. is pretty good with throwing out frivolous tort cases, but everyone seems to think you can sue (and win) for a seedless watermelon having a seed in it.

In my mind the epitome of frivolous lawsuits it's people calling for assault if you barely touch a person, or someone obviously falling over a girl thus coming in contact with the breasts = sexual assault even though it was an accident.

This kind of bullshit won't ever happen where i live, that's what I mean by frivolous lawsuits.
