Don't worry, these only get big awards during the "jury" trial. On appeal, it is in front of judges. They are not swayed by lawyers and BS like this usually gets overturned.
The sad part, the only winners are the damn lawyers. I have a $1.65 award in a class action lawsuit against a bank (no I did not seek out the suit). But, this award was something like $10M. The lawyers took 35% and spread the rest to the people like me.
Unfortunately, most of the people in our government today are lawyers. Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham (clinton), John Edwards, etc. Do you think these people want to limit what a lawyer can do or how they can make money? And while my examples are Democrats, i know that most of the Republicans are Lawyers too. My ex-girlfriend from NY, her boss, a state senator, was/is a lawyer, and so are 3 of his children, 2 of which are now in Politics.
I can't say they are all bad, since one of his kids is representing me in a patent issue...
