OK, how is this for a solution. No matter what the injury/travesty/emotional scarring or whatever other 'injury' you want to label it, a person can sue for no more than $10,000, 000.00, unless it is a child under the age of 18, then you can sue for $20,000,000. But, if you lose, you have to pay the person you were suing the amount you tried to get from them.
