Description:
Sugarman offers both a penetrating critique of current personal injury law and a pioneering proposal for new compensation arrangements and new mechanisms for controlling unreasonably dangerous conduct. He argues persuasively that personal injury law as it is currently constructed generates more perverse behavior than desired safety, that it is an intolerably expensive and unfair system of compensating victims, and that in practice it fails to serve any commonsense notion of justice. His solution is the abolition of personal injury law and the institution of reforms based on social insurance and employee benefits.
