Good subject Steve. I would want to start with whoever wins the claim, pays legal cost on both sides. That would stop most of the frivolous law suits.

On medical there should be some way to limit the tests doctors do only to show in court if necessary that they explored all options. Perhaps an independent medical review board on required testing. Maybe a limit on the amount of an award for certain types of negligence. Was the person incompetent or did they just do what was normal and not go above and beyond that norm.

Good Samaritan laws to protect those trying to help others. Everyone will make mistakes. No one wants to make a mistake that causes damage to someone else. However it does happen. People who have been injured due to someones direct fault need recourse. But some of the awards for that recourse have been ridiculous at best.

Doctors feel the biggest impact today, but we all have to pay for the runaway cost of insurance. How many of us buy higher limits because we are afraid someone will slip and fall in your driveway and sue you for some incredible amount of money. And it just continues to escalate beyond the test of being reasonable.
