I'm not saying...

...there are no valid lawsuits.

Only that >abuse< of the system has caused harm to more than just big corporations. This is why I tried to focus the argument on the healthcare industry.

Ford deserved to pay millions for things like Pinto, Explorer et all. There was gross negligence involved. I would not consider these spurious lawsuits.
