I say do away with punitive damages entirely. The civil court system should not be used to punish. If punishment is required that should be a criminal matter.

No limit on actual damages and let them include legal fees (which should be limited to say $75 per hour) and the time and aggravation -- say $75 per hour -- the plantiff takes to obtain justice.

If punishment is required that should be a matter for criminal courts.

Maybe if the lawyers start suing each other that would help. Autodigestion. Parasites with a parasite host.
