Sure, but it goes both ways.
On one hand, companies are overly litigious for reasons described in the post. I've been frustrated at least once that I couldn't be part of a class action suit because there wasn't a recall for a design flaw costing me thousands; I knew however that a class action suit probably would've resulting in a small check at most.
On the other hand, there are law firms that advertise on television to get people to claim malpractice, etc. and "get money." And there are patent trolls that are purely exploiting.
I think it's fair to say there is a lot that could be done for reform.
