Companies who **** up a lot get sued a lot. They then go out of business
We call this
capitalism.
Any suggestion that damages awarded by courts somehow 'hamper' the economy is plain rubbish.
Your argument would result in "if you were burgled you shouldn't claim on your insurance because if you claim on your insurance everyone elses insurance premium goes up"

She wouldn't 'get a cheque' unless she had been seriously wronged.
P.S. A fraudulent claim leads to far bigger legal issues. Ask Lord Archer of Swindon if you doubt.
