ABSTRACT
Litigaphobia, sometimes rendered liticaphobia, is a real word, although not one frequently encountered outside the United States of America. It means fear of lawsuits. Sufferers can experience symptoms such as sweating, nausea, trembling and an overwhelming desire to run away. Litigaphobia is irrational. Throwing up will not improve your chances of success in the litigation. Running away may result in summary judgment against you in a case you should have won. A reputation for settling claims rather than going to court will attract even more lawsuits.
