^{US lawcourt.}

Recent high-profile lawsuits such as Black Widow movie star Scarlett Johansson vs Disney, Spencer Elden vs Nirvana, and Walter Merricks vs Mastercard have been dominating the headlines. 

Interested in prolific lawsuits, Los Angeles pre-settlement funding company Upliftlegalfunding.com commissioned a study that utilized the latest data from online analytics tool Ahrefs to establish which lawsuits fascinate people the most.

The researchers identified ‘lawsuit’ as the primary online search term and inserted into the Ahrefs database to establish which particular lawsuits people are most searching for online.

The results were then extracted from the Ahrefs database and arranged from highest to lowest based on the ‘average global monthly online searches’ variable, and the top ten results which mentioned a particular company/organization next to the key term lawsuit were presented in the final results table.

To ensure accuracy, when considering a particular company’s lawsuit, the researchers further analyzed the data to see which search term tags the company name alongside the key term ‘lawsuit’ were associated with, e.g. ‘Tresemme lawsuit’, ‘Tresemme hair loss lawsuit’, ‘Tresemme keratin lawsuit’ etc.

 

Results for the Research:

 

It turns out people are most interested in the Tresemme lawsuit, as there are an average 53,700 global online searches per month for the lawsuit against the hair care giants from users claiming their Keratin line led to hair loss and painful scalp burns

In second position is Ripple (XRP), with an average 43,800 online searches each month on the lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging two executives from the funds transfer platform raised over $1 billion through illicit means

Robinhood (41,500), Zantac (24,600) and Facebook (23,300) are among the other top companies whose lawsuit cases gain over 20,000 worldwide online searches a month
