The present civil court system encourages and rewards flagrancy and dishonesty. With the loser paying, those who misuse the legal system would be forced to take responsibility for their actions. The honest would always be rewarded; the mendacious would be punished.

Loser pays assumes equal bargaining power between the two parties. $25,000 for an insurance company is a drop in the bucket. $25,000 to someone who has been injured in an accident and loses due to a technicality or a bad lawyer is devastating.
