You can sue for anything, but recovering is something else. Tort reform is a good idea, but it needs to be done so that it eliminates the frivolous suits without barring claims that really should be made, especially by people who can't afford to pay significant fees to gain access to the judicial system. Think it over. I have a lot. It's harder to devise a system that fairly excludes frivolous cases without barring good cases than it seems like. Trying to devise a more fair system is certainly a conversation worth having. I like the idea of fee shifting and making the attorneys share equally with their client.
Final thought: these claims are being brought by individual people - not lawyers. They're just hiring lawyers to represent them. Be mad at mankind for being so dense that some members of the human race think that suing over turbulance or the positioning of mirrors is a good idea. People that thick would sue whether they could hire a lawyer or not.
