Well, that's the problem. Injuries and harm will always come from drugs. And
in the US the legal system is in need of reforms to reduce the suits from

But that's why we have courts; to judge the facts about whether malfeasance and/or negligence exists. It's not infallible, and certainly quite a few meritless cases make it through the system. Same is true of our criminal courts; perhaps we should stop prosecuting criminals til we're batting 1000 there, too?
