Does the US really pay out more for various personal injuries than other countries, or is that more of a myth than anything else.

Re: Does the US really pay out more for various personal injuries?
I wish to inform you that laws of each country determine amount of compensation which may be paid in personal injury cases. Certain countries do not restrict amount of compensation and compensation is based upon circumstances of particular case. Even in USA each state has its own laws and thus compensation may not be quantified as to which particular jurisdiction may grant more compensation.

I think it is fairly well known, that the damages awards in the United States exceed those of most other countries, and in some cases it has become so excessive that legislation is probably needed to curb some of the abuse.Comment

Definitely the US pays more than in Europe e.g. where I used to live.
But that also makes the legal costs of dong business in the US much higher too.
It all gets passed on.Comment

Is Trump changing that in any way? or perhaps is Congress changing it now in 2019-20?
Or not really?
Seems to me it is excessive in the US.
And hurting our businesses.Comment

In the US many states have instituted tort reform. This is to help cap Judgments in civil litigation, although the largest areas that have seen tort reform are medical malpractice and insurance.Comment

Certainly the us is paying a ton more than they pay in in Europe for such kinds of suits.
And hence the high cost of health care and many other services in he USA.Comment
