Why the hell the idiots on juries who award damages that ruin whole industries like general aviation take no blame while the trial lawyers get the blame is beyond me.

All lawyers do is argue their case. It's the brainless goats on the jury that award the ridiculous judgments.

Tort reform always sounds like a good idea..........until your wife gets killed by some company's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In those cases, there isn't a high enough dollar figure for that company to pay.



I dont think Tort reform is about letting people or companies off the hook, but millions of dollars for a hot cup of coffee in the lap is ridiculous, if that falls under Tort. I know they want to limit the monetary and certain types of damages and Trial lawyers are looking at a pay cut. Hillarys brother made out big on the smoking lawsuits.
