[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1854839, member: 7488"] I work for an insurance company, and my company has been opposite many of the suits that help make JB his massive amounts of money. But I am against tort reform (though my industry supports it). Why? Because I don't think the government has any role in arbitrarily deciding these matters between two parties engaged in a civil suit. It should be reserved for the parties and their counsel to argue, and the judges and jurors to decide. Tort reform allows the government to weigh in on judgements before a suit is even filed, or really before a tortfeasor even causes anyone any damages. How does the government know what a ceiling for ANY and ALL damage claims could possibly be before reviewing any one case on its own individual circumstances and merits? It's not unlike gun control laws allow the government to place restrictions on all citizens because of a few incompetent our outrageous ones. Should they punish the whole based on the actions of a few? [/QUOTE]
