The legal system was not designed to neutralize the damages. The legal system has been designed to neutralize the damages and leverage scapegoating to deter future cases. e.g. in this case the jury is basically telling Tesla “… is very not profitable. It is your fiduciary responsibility to investors to ensure this never happens again.”
You might disagree with that design of the courts, but changing how the US legal system works is more than a lot difficult.
If you do take on this challenge, I would suggest starting with helping reduce punishments for individuals before focusing on reducing the punishment for corporations. Hopefully the same strategies for change will “help” both situations.
