Torts Flim-Flam

The economic impact of "lawsuit abuse" is greatly exaggerated.

Instead of actual evidence, what’s been offered instead are some (wildly wrong) estimates of the costs of the entire tort system, rather than any expected change in costs. In effect, proponents of tort reform are discussing the issue as though they are going to eliminate the tort system (in other words, eliminate the costs from all lawsuits).
