Litigation to provide opportunity for larger settlements


Problem: A way to improve litigation is to provide more opportunity for larger settlements when people are hurt by defective products. Big corporations should feel the brunt of the legal recourse by victims through the use of juries who are unhindered in their settlement judgments. This would make corporations take the initiative to ensure their products are safe. However, companies are sued everyday and granted large amounts of money but still there are negligence. I am not sure if that would do any good. People know that smoking can cause cancer everyone see the commercials, and know people that has been affected by that terrible disease. That is a choice to smoke. You would think with cigarettes costing $5.00 plus a pack that would be a deterrent but it isn't. Any thoughts?
