The number of tort lawsuits filed in 2022 dipped to one of the lowest levels in the past decade, according to a new report out Thursday, but it’s already on the upswing.
The 2023 Torts Litigation Report, by Lex Machina, a division of LexisNexis, found that there were 14,375 tort lawsuits filed in federal courts last year. That is down from 15,799 in 2021 and the lowest number in 10 years, except in 2013 and 2016, when there were 12,069 and 13,786 tort cases, respectively.
