You can actually blame the national media for that one. That lawsuit was far from frivolous, but that is how the national media played it out, and thus why most Americans believe it to be so.
Did you know that the victim only sought to have her medical bills covered (around $45K)? It was the juries decision to award her $2 millions dollars, which was later reduced by the judge. When it was all said in done, she only received around $500K.
