I think I remember the sci-fi show Sliders having an episode which ever so briefly touched on this. At the very tail end of a jump the sliders are just about to open the portal to another reality and I think Quinn bumps into some random old lady, and apologises. Moments later a guy who identifies himself as a lawyer approaches Quinn and informs him by apologising he has just admitted fault in the encounter and will likely be sued as a result of that, to which Quinn smirks and tells the lawyer to have fun with the case before opening the portal and leaving.

Edit: Season 2 episode 12: Greatfellas.

Lawyer Earth: A Earth where around 84% of the population is lawyers. You can get sued and lose for just bumping into someone. You also need ID, and a doctor's note just to buy some french fries.

Edit 2: Taken from scfi stackexhange

This was before the producers decided to kill off Professor Arturo- in the beginning the sliders are on an alternate earth where an overwhelmingly large number of the people are litigation-happy lawyers; consequently film critics fear to say what they really think of the latest Pauley Shore movie, getting food at a burger joint involves more red tape than applying for a passport, and Rembrandt is told his apology for bumping into someone is an "admission of guilt", setting himself up for a frivolous lawsuit- yeah, they were lucky to get off that world as soon as they did.

And

We quickly learn that they are on a world full of lawyers where everyone is so terrified of being sued that almost nothing gets done. They try and order a burger but need different forms of ID and insurance. It's funny but also a bit sad because we aren't that far from being there ourselves. Remy accidently bumps into an old lady who almost imminently tries to sue him and an attorney runs up to Remy and gives him his card, wanting to defend him in the lawsuit. The gang laughs as they open the vortex and leave this world behind.
