First sentence: The law of torts in the United States seeks to achieve a variety of aims: to compensate individuals injured by the risky business activities of large entities; to create incentives for those entities to take into account the dangers of their activities in the design of their processes, products, and services; and, it is said, to allow individuals who feel powerless to make their grievances felt against large, impersonal, and sometimes unresponsive, not to say arrogant, organizations.
