Or we could learn to stop suing people over everything. I mean, gross neglect is one thing, but if it's a safer driver than I am, and it screws up, we call that an accident.

Nah, I'm dreaming, it's far more likely that insurance companies will set up a wide insurance program ala taxi services than it is that we'll learn to stop being litigious.

Exactly my thoughts. You typically have very little to go on if a company did something to you and they were not in neglect. At least in Europe/The Netherlands, I don't really know about the US. (The stories we hear is that in the US, neglect means not warning that coffee is indeed hot, or that you should not put pets in a microwave to warm them up... I don't believe that really so I'll just assume it's similar to here.)
