How do we feel about injuries that one person inflicts on another? The answer, as revealed in judicial decisions in personal injury cases, tells us a lot about who we are as a people. Tort Law and Culture shows that those decisions provide a mirror of our social lives. This book speaks to lawyers and law students, social scientists, and economists about the role of law in society. The clarity of its writing also commends it to many other people who read about personal injury cases in newspapers and hear about them on radio and television.
