Well... my aunt was killed when she was hit by a NYC bus. Their family didn't sue the driver, they sued the city and a couple years later they got a settlement of maybe 20K? I don't recall precisely... but I know it wasn't enough to make up for it.
Anyway, to see what their family went through and are still going through... I don't think you can put a price tag on how life-altering something like this can be. One minute you're healthy as can be and the next you're undergoing multiple surgeries and committed to a year of intensive physical therapy which will go on for the rest of your life.
Sure, people take advantage of the system (like when buses crash and people run aboard to hold their necks and moan in pain), but I don't think you can judge the people with a legitimate beef based on the abusers of the system.
I'm totally with you Shak. Corporations should absolutely be held accountable.
