Agreed.

The net affect of the current tort system is to increase the premiums for liability insurance, in that it socializes individual losses and attorneys fees through the insurance industry. Tort reform, which would include class action suits, construction defect suits, ADA suits, and medical malpractise, and would resuscitate the concept of assumption of risk, would help the general economy through the reduced premiums that would result from causing some losses to be retained by individuals and not spread over society as a whole.
