Abstract Without a doubt, the civil litigation process is a valid approach to finding truth. This notwithstanding, legislation has greatly been influenced by big businesses. As a result, the process is open to manipulation and distortion. Ostensibly, the problem lies in the unequal or unfair balance that wealthier corporations have over private individuals. For this reason, legislation has capped the payout of awarded damages. Society is finding that tort reform has presented a problem and payouts are not enough to cover medical expenses, damages, or long term care. The responsibility then lies on the state and ultimately the burden is on the taxpayer. By relying upon case law, legal scholars, and federal regulations, I will argue that damage caps have left victims uncompensated in specific cases. Introduction Generally, law refers to a collection of rules that help to control how the affairs of any society are conducted. A society on the other hand is a grouping of people who are united by culture or territorial boundaries. By and large, law and society are closely related and tend to influence each other. In the absence of the law, the society is literally turned into something close to a jungle. In order to ensure that the laws of a society are relevant, it is imperative for state governments and law makers to formulate laws that are in tandem with the constant changes in a given society. In the United States, courts and courtrooms are considered to be the most useful organs for promoting democracy and fairness for all without paying attention to their status inn the society 1 . Arguably, developing laws that are relevant to the needs of a society helps a lot when it comes to dealing with new challenges as they as they are encountered 2 . In order to promote peace and stability in any society, it is important to create harmony between law and the society. However, while it is a fact that legislation plays a vital role in making sure that every person is treated fairly, there are concerns that big businesses are attempting to make this impractical. Apparently, big corporations collude with policy makers at different levels of government so as to ensure that established laws favor them. Generally, this paper looks at the influence of corporate institutions and how it affects tort law and medical compensation. Tort Law and the Society Tort is regarded as a civil wrong that does not result from a contract between individuals. Consequently, tort law is generally concerned with the rights of private individuals 3 . It is designed to protect individuals who have suffered injury or damage inflicted upon them by others. It is also meant to ensure that victims receive full compensation for any harm or injury that is caused to them. Ostensibly, tort law is classified as common law and is usually made by courts. Under tort law, individuals who are responsible for causing harm to others are required to fully compensate the affected persons for the damage caused 4 . The loss experienced by a victim may include loss of income as he or she recuperates. A victim may also be required to shoulder the full burden of his or her medical expenses. In worst case scenarios, a person may lose his or her body part. To a large extent, tort law requires offenders to compensate victims by paying them an agreed sum of money. Clearly, the main motivation for tort law i
