The Myth Of Choice: Personal Responsibility In A World Of Limits, Kent Greenfield Dec 2010

The Myth Of Choice: Personal Responsibility In A World Of Limits, Kent Greenfield

Ben Depoorter

First, we present a general, formal model on durable and non-durable precaution technology that focuses on memory costs. Second, because liability exposure creates interference, we argue that tort law perpetuates the expansion of awards. Third, because plaintiffs do not consider the social costs of interference effects, private litigation induces socially excessive suits. Fourth, while new harm-reducing technologies likely increase accident rates, such technologies also raise the ratio of trial costs to harm, leaving undetermined the overall effect of …
