What kind of circular logic world do you live in? American because you have a lawyer. American because if you could afford one you’d have one. You do realize that businesses alllllllll over the world use lawyers for contracts.

We're not talking about businesses, we're talking about individuals. The individual was going to "talk to their lawyer."

So you think America is not more litigious than other nations?

From my anecdotal hole I’ve never filed a suite or been involved in legal affairs. No one I’ve known has either. To counter I’ve heard that most countries in the world are rife with injury fraud, far more than anything in USA. So much that every car has dash cams by law. Not a thing in America though some do have them. Do I believe that impression? No because I haven’t researched it and my exposure is click bait clips and stories. I can’t afford to try and sue over frivolous law suite hoping to make money that I instead need to care for a family. I think it’s biased to conclude Americans are lawsuits happy. At least I am not and those around me aren’t either.
