The litigious plaintiff hypothesis: case selection and resolution

Article Abstract:

A theoretical framework to comprehend the process of selection of cases for litigation, and the relation of the distribution of potential claims and claimants is presented. The framework based its study on over 200,000 federal civil lawsuits. The identity of the plaintiff is more significant than the identity of the defendant in the process of selection, as well as the rate of winning the case. Individuals are also likely to consider the cost of litigation before filing a case as compared to corporations. Cases filed by individuals are found to have higher trial rates than corporations as plaintiffs, though, individuals submit weaker cases.

Among the markets observed, those with larger revenue potential, more hospital sales and better efficiency in preventing chronic conditions are the most attractive.
