The US system is rife with over the top punitive damages, and it doesn't seem as if there's a cap to the limit. I believe they often top the 'true' damage, but not punitive, which allows the judge to punish companies. Not sure about personal lawsuits though.
So those crazy sums are from lawsuits against big companies? If I for instance punch someone in the face the penalty is not as harsh?
