You have to realize that the McDonald's case, the 'missing pants' case and others are regurgitated to the media by special interest groups who are usually seeking to drive public policy to protect their wealthy clients from civil liability in courts and then reprinted as 'news.' The spin becomes 'fact' which makes people want to support politicians who support things like tort reform.

99% of the time, when you hear about frivolous lawsuits, they are one suit out of millions and you're only getting the facts someone wants you to have.
