Sorry, KM... the lunacy has got to stop. A lady recently won a $1.5 million judgement from a furniture store because she tripped and fell... over her own child. Ridiculous!!

Without a cap, the amounts will continue to spiral. I am for compensation for those people who have truly been wronged through negligence or criminal acts. That is what our legal system is for.

But with the number of lawyers out there needing to make a living, too many cases are contrived and frivilous. And who ends up paying for all this? The populace at large, through higher costs for everything because of the built-in cost of litigation in all the goods and services the consumer purchases.

Tort Reform... Yes!
