Not the whole system. Don't be tempted to throw out the baby with

What strikes me most about the amounts payed in compensation for some
peoples own stupidity ist the fact, that few seem to realize that this
money is payed out of everyones pocket. The general public seems to go
along with such claims, siding with the "little man" against big, bad
corporations. But as the requirement to pay ridiculous claims now and
then to avoid even more expensive lawsuits is the same for all
corporations, none of them gains any advantage nor disadvantage from
it. The cost is just calculated into the pricing of all products.
