I would change our legal system! We are such a litigous society with all of our frivilous lawsuits. Its ridiculous! All that money awarded over mostly people not taking responsibility of their own actions eventually translates into the population paying more money either in the form of taxes, insurance, higher prices etc. The victim should be justly compensated for legitimate pain lost wages etc. But the punitive damages part has got to go. It has gotten out of hand.
Whenever a lawsuit is brought the loser should have to pay all court costs legal fees everything, and if so required a victim should be compensated for whatever lost monies and thats it. People would be less willing to sue left and right if they think there's a chance they will have to pay not only they're legal fees but the defendants. Not to mention if you take away the opportunity for an enormous monetary "return" just for spilling coffee in your lap.
