PI lawyers take cases on contingency meaning they receive a % of the settlement given by an insurer or awarded by a jury.

If there are 0 damages (or even if there damages and liability is disputed), insurers don't pay settlements. Jury will not award money if there are no damages.

PI lawyers have no incentive to take the case. It doesn't get filed.

Again, no lawyer is taking on a PI case unless they can make money or fame off of it.
