On the heels of catching the attention of the American Tort Reform Association last year, Connecticut has not been given any noticeable mention on this year’s just-released “Judicial Hellholes” list, but Nutmeggers can always hope for a future ruling similar to last year’s $42 million tick bite that received the blessing of the state’s high court, and resulted in a “dishonorable mention.”
This year, California has again topped the annual “Judicial Hellholes” list, in which ATR ranks the nation’s top nine venues with the “most unfair” legal systems. California placed first at least three prior times, but last year’s report bumped it to No. 2 in favor of Florida, whose highest court came out with a bevy of medical malpractice decisions for plaintiffs. This year, Florida ranks second.
