Putting caps and limits on awards is simply another way to deny access to
the courts.
The insurance industry, especially the health and disability, use the caps
and
limits of ERISA to deny coverage and payment of benefits.
Limiting legal judgment pay out cuts the ability of many to have fair
representation. High cost courts with limited reimbursement for the cost of
the action effective limits access to the courts and by extension justice to
those that have money, i.e. the rich.
For examples do a goodle search on ERISA, disability and medical. Might
also find some info on the practice of 'running the meter.'
Interesting, the B2B legal action is increasing where as the P2B legal
actions are decreasing (a trend over the past 10-15 years) yet the TORT
reform is toward stopping P2B.
