No, it wouldn't be nice. It would distort the market in favor of crappy manufacturers and service providers. Good companies would suffer a competitive disadvantage w/o the sharks to eat the weak.

If all cases have the same payout, then the lawyers will choose to sue the crappiest companies where they have the best chance of winning.
