Lawsuit abuse is one of the greatest threats to Illinois' weakening economy. Our state is now ranked 46th out of 50 states in the ILR Harris Poll on Legal Fairness - a drop of 12 places in 3 years!
In fact, two Illinois counties -- Madison County and St. Clair County -- are ranked by the American Tort Association as the #1 and #2 "Judicial Hellholes" in America. And Cook County now ranks as the second worst county in America for lawsuit abuse.
