Defending a frivolous lawsuit costs up to a million dollars, even when the claim has zero merit. I've built six companies. Out of those six I've faced more frivolous suits than I can count. None of them had real merit. The pattern is always the same. Someone files a claim over a minor issue or nothing at all. Their lawyer works on contingency so it costs them little. They know defending yourself runs up to a million dollars. So they push for a settlement that stays below that number. You pay the attorney fees to respond. You trade claims. It ends in mediation. You calculate what it takes to make it stop because you don't have the cash to see it through on principle. Some businesses can fight all the way. Most entrepreneurs who just found traction cannot. That is the calculation they count on. The people who run this play understand the system better than the owners they target. They keep doing it because it works.
