The US legal system has a problem calculating reasonable damages.

  While this is grotesque, I actually like it more than in my home country where the death of someone results in a pay-out of <20.000 Euro's. It is even know there is a table that judges can follow with ranges but the loss of a child could even be <5000 Euro. While the money won't actually heal your sorrows, the loss of your partner amounting to 5000 Euro's on your bank account feels like putting salt in the wound.

  I’ve seen cases over the years where doctors irreparably maim a patient requiring a lifetime of expensive professional services and home care, are set a fair judgement meant to cover these costs, but then skip out due to maximums set in law thereby hosing the victim. So what gives here?
