If it were only compensation for their medical bills that would probably be OK. But the way it really works is that the the typical personal injury lawyer takes 30%-50% of the award as a fee, so they are highly incentivized to inflate the damages, often with "pain and suffering" claims that money really doesn't compensate for and are hard to disprove.
