| Summary: | Enterprise responsibility for personal injury is a two-volume reporter's study that constitutes a report to the Institute, rather than by the Institute. The first volume details the legal and social concerns that gave rise to the study in the mid-1980s, and distills contemporary scholarship dealing with how well various institutions--prominently, but not exclusively, tort litigation--have performed in addressing the human and economic problems created by personal injuries. The second volume undertakes an in-depth analysis of those facets of the tort system that have proved especially troublesome in recent years and presents the Reporters' judgments about how the tort system should evolve in the future. An important theme in the second volume is the emphasis on the room that tort law should give to market competition, social insurance, and administrative regulation in order to enhance the capacity of these institutions to build a fairer, more sensible personal injury regime. |
