IMHO, the way to handle our litigious nature as a country is to tax the living crap out of the winnings in court cases. This way, we discourage the behavior, but if someone is really in the wrong, the wronged can get proper justice.

We already do. While actual compensation is not taxed, punitive damages are, as is the lawyer’s share.
