Moreover, tort reform still allows for the plaintiff to recover damages just not at an excessive and unreasonable amount of damages.

However, this does not mean that everyone is like that; there are many people that truly deserve to be compensated for their injuries. So, when I saw the proves, the burns, and how the media and private companies took advantage of the situation to get the attention of the general public and talk about the Tort Reform as something good that could benefit them, I really changed my mind about the case.
