New Study Reveals U.S. States Desperately Seeking Legal Support for Personal Injuries

Across the United States, demand for legal assistance after accidents and injuries is sharply increasing. Some regions are showing a far stronger interest in personal injury representation, reflecting growing public concern about justice and compensation after serious incidents.

Regional Differences in Legal Searches

Using Google Keyword Planner data from all 50 states, researchers measured the number of searches related to “personal injury lawyer” per 100,000 residents to identify areas of highest demand.

Top States by Search Volume

Connecticut: Ranked first with an annual average of 1,145 searches per 100,000 residents — 193.6% above the national average of 390. The state saw a total of 42,440 searches among its 3.7 million residents.
Louisiana: Placed second, with an annual average of 1,136 searches per 100,000 residents, or 191.3% higher than the national average. The total number of searches reached 52,340 among its 4.6 million population.

“The study shows clear regional differences in how Americans pursue justice after life-changing events,” noted the CR Legal Team report.

The findings underline how search behavior can reflect real-world needs for legal guidance and how certain regions may have stronger demands for support following accidents.
