A lot the reason these cases happen in the states is because they have a jury. Where as Canada typically has a judge for such a case. So it is easier to appeal to jurors than a judge. But what you don't hear about is that almost always the case is appealed and it goes to a higher court where the amount that is awarded is lowered considerably or even the decision over turned. But that part isn't as interesting and doesn't make it to the headlines.
