Verdicts in civil suits launched against major corporations can be extremely large. These verdicts, however, should be placed in proper context. Verdicts in civil suits against individuals can be much larger when measured in terms of the ability of the defendant to pay the said sum. Our justice system should render verdicts against corporations that are as large proportionally to the revenues of the corporation as some verdicts are proportionally to the income of individual defendants.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
a) Insurance companies often fail to pay the sums dictated in verdicts reached against individual defendants.
b) The extent to which the payment is expensive to the defendant should be a consideration in the determination of awards.
c) Corporations are responsible for at least as many of the problems in our society as are individuals.
d) No punishment is too large for the truly guilty.
e) The justice system has always been effective in collecting large sums imposed on defendants.
