Author Marshall S. Shapo presents the argument that the body of law
Americans have developed concerning responsibility for injuries and
prevention of injuries has some of the qualities of a
constitution--a fundamental set of principles that govern relations
among people and between people and corporate and governmental
institutions. This 'injury law constitution' includes tort law,
legislative compensation systems like workers compensation, and the
many statutes that regulate the safety of risky activities and of
products ranging from drugs and medical devices to automobiles and
cigarettes. An Injury Law Constitution presents a novel thesis that
embraces leading features of the American law of injuries.
Professor Shapo's analysis, into which he weaves the history of
these varied systems of law, links them to the unique compensation
plan devised for the victims of the September 11th attacks on the
World Trade Center. Professor Shapo examines how our injury law
reflects deeply held views in American society on risk and injury,
indicating how the injury law constitution serves as a guide to the
question of what it means to be an American. Refusing to accept
easy academic formulas, An Injury Law Constitution captures the
reality of how people respond to injury risks in functional
contexts involving diverse activities and products.
