These people are still going to sue and get paid. You can't just straight up ban suing people that hurt you.

That's always the big rub, and why "frivolous" becomes such a buzzword. I don't see how a case with clear liability can be "frivolous".

That's why loser pays is such a silly response to fixing the system. That will just mean Gordon gets the awards AND attorney's fees. How will that lower costs to consumer or insurance companies?

The question is how to limit the value of these cases and ultimately that comes down to how juries rule.
