The law here changed to the point that if a drunk falls down, he can sue everybody, and the deepest pockets pays. We need a swing back in the other direction.

One of the biggest problems is that a lot of cases get settled by Ins cos that know they will lose under the present system, or figure out a settlement that is cheaper than fighting the lawsuit. The plaintiff does not face any court costs for suing. It's out of control.
