If you're doing oblivion-dollars damage to someone, why shouldn't you be accountable. Otherwise you're just making society pay the cost.

Between 36% and 53% of small businesses get sued every year according to this article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/basharubin...

If suits only happened when businesses actually did something that truly did damage to society, then I'd agree. But reality is far from this.

Lawsuits are part of doing business, just like taxes and accounting.
