Fixed dollar amounts are the way Tort Reform is done, at least in Texas, where you and I live. And it doesn't improve the quality of cases, it
increases the quantity. More cases are
the opposite of what Tort Reform advocates preach, so it just doesn't make sense.
I should add that my uncle is a personal injury attorney. Not the boogey-man you see on daytime TV, but a decent, professional man that serves a legitimate purpose in society that has been crippled by Tort Reform.
