Civil lawsuits are a “common law” tradition that our Founders brought from Great Britain and enshrined in the United States Constitution. The purpose of civil lawsuits is not to put people in jail for intentional injuries – that is the purpose of criminal law. Rather, the purpose of a civil lawsuit is to compensate victims of recklessness and negligence. We live in a society of people who don't always take the time to act safely -- we drive fast, neglect to fill the pothole in the parking lot, sell products that occasionally hurt people, hire workers who are untrained, staff our jails and schools with individuals who sometimes are unfit, dispose of pollutants in the wrong way, forget to watch where we are driving our boat – and a host of daily acts of thoughtlessness or corner-cutting. That is why we purchase insurance – to protect ourselves from lawsuits, and to compensate those we have regretfully harmed. A civil lawsuit is not an act of vengeance; it is redress for three separate concerns: 1) It is for truth-finding – how did the incident really occur? 2) It is an act of civic education – can we learn to be a better, safer, fairer society? 3) It is an act of compensation – we should compensate the victim who bears the burden of our thoughtlessness and gave us an education..
