My issue is with excessive over-the-top cash awards that juries have a tendency to mandate. It's a give-away-someone-else's-money mentality. It's a once-in-a-lifetime power rush that people get and it hurts legitimate businesses, and incites people to sue in a win-the-lottery type crapshoot.
In the name of "justice" it's just plain unsavory.

And this is the major flaw with the US justice system. People can sue for just about any frivolous claim that they can possibly think of with a reasonable chance of winning. In other western countries these types of cases would not even make it to the dockets.
