Abstract

Most people agree that the tort system is in serious need of re- form: victims often cannot afford the expense or the delay associated with pursuing their claims to resolution, successful plaintiffs with serious physical injuries are undercompensated, and potential defendants complain of crushing liability, much of which goes to administrative costs-including attorneys fees-and not to victims. It is not surprising, then, that legal scholars and legislators are increasingly interested in alternatives to the tort system, such as the administrative compensation plans presented in this Symposium.
