As a lawyer, I really must take issue with your characterization of the
American legal system. I admit that judges and juries occasionally render
bizarre judgments, but those mistakes are frequently corrected on appeal and
they do not occur as often as you might think. They get featured in the news
precisely because they are so unusual ("man bites dog").
There are some highly litigious individuals in this country who do believe
that they should be able to collect millions of dollars for the slightest
inconvenience, real or imagined, but both judges and juries (if it ever gets
that far) tend to regard them with the contempt that they deserve.
