I think the sue-happiness is due to high medical costs and no social safety net. Imagine some kid falls and hits his head. The injury is so bad that the kid will be mentally disabled for the rest of his life and require full time care. You're a juror and you have the power to take away a couple of million dollars from a large company that'll make 11 billion that year in order to make sure this family's future is just a little less terrible. That this kid can get sometime of care and therapy so maybe he can talk again or just pay off some of the million dollars in medical bills they racked up on trying to save his life. I can see why it would be hard to side with Home Depot despite the fact they're not at fault.
