<abstract>Proposed tort reforms have focused on punitive damages and noneconomic damages, each of which pose problems for jury decision making. The U.S. Supreme Court decision in State Farm v. Campbell will greatly limit very large punitive damages awards, and wiil affect smaller punitive awards to a lesser degree. Noneconomic damages caps enacted by state legislatures have greatly enhanced insurance market performance.

Reform efforts should strive to stablish greater predictability and stability in these awards components rather than simply being concerned with imposing specific numerical caps</abstract>
