Demonstrated injury from negligence or malpractice is one thing. Lawsuits based on speculative causes for a disease are something else.

Similarly, lawsuits blaming someone else for ones stupidity should also be curtailed. There was one I read about a couple of months ago where a pair of teenagers trespassed in a railroad yard, climbed on top of a boxcar and came in contact with a high voltage line. They sued the RR and won. The court/jury gave as a reason the not enough signs were posted alerting trespassers to the overhead high voltage lines.
