Multiple surveys have shown that lawsuits
are not a concern for small business owners. A survey from the National
Association of Manufacturers suggests that “lawsuit abuse” ranks at the bottom
of concerns for manufacturers.7 The fact is that the propaganda put out by large corporations is the source of this myth. For several decades, corporate-speak has been telling us over and over again that business is hampered by lawsuits, that business owners are scared to do things for fear of lawsuits. This is simply a fabrication designed to scare us.
A 2008 survey from National
Federation of Independent Business had similar results, with “costs and
frequency of lawsuits / threatened suits” ranking 65th on a list of small
business owners’ worries. 8
Small business owners have a lot more pressing worries. In reality, only big corporations and their
front groups want to destroy the legal system so they can’t be held accountable
for negligence and misconduct. Drug, oil, and insurance companies have tried to
hide behind small business owners to accomplish this; however, these surveys
reveal their true intentions.
