“this is a true story. A man in New York tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a subway train? He survived, and then he sued the city for damages, and he won $1.2 million. This is just the type of case which tells why three-fourths of Americans say that the current liability lawsuit system is in need of major repair. The American people are sick and tired of our culture of victimization. Murderers go free because they were supposedly abused as children. A woman spills coffee on herself, and then she collects millions of dollars in punitive damages. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? This is no small matter. Frivolous lawsuits cost Americans $300 billion in higher prices and in lost wages, but we are going to reform this system, while ensuring that all those with legitimate grievances will have access to the justice system. This is our Contract With America.”
