Our Liability Predicament is a non-political and non-polemical
discussion of our present-day liability system and its problems. It
concludes that the culprit has been the gradual devolution of
American tort law to the point where it actually encourages
litigation, greed, and revenge, as opposed to the proclaimed aim of
law as a method of settling disputes amicably, expeditiously and
fairly. The book is divided into six sections; the first of which
is devoted to the basic facts of tort law, how it evolved, and how
it began to differ from the tort systems of other nations. The next
section discusses the basic flaws and merits of the system, and
concludes that the flaws considerably outweigh the merits. The
third section discusses the need for basic reforms, particularly in
incentives, cost, and complexity. The fourth section considers
specific problems, with emphasis on automobile liability and
professional malpractice. The fifth section discusses the divergent
points of view regarding the tort system in the literature, as well
as various proposals for reform, and the final section gives a
short summary and conclusion.
