Well, it's done

Damage awards have also resulted in safer practices. Lawsuits will often expose unsafe practices, which will result in greater emphasis of creating a safer product, on creating safer methods in surgery, in creating a more vigilant watch over care practices, etc. We don't know what would have been the human cost and cost in productivity if safer methods spurred on by damage awards had not been implemented.

Just another perspective.

This I have no issues with. Its the lawsuits brought on by lifestyle choices and stupidity that I cannot stomach.
