Yes, the part you quoted, supports my point - that the legal system is biassed (however unintentionally this may be) to favor big corporations. No JUST legal system would have settlements reward people MORE than actually finding the defendant guilty of wrongdoing ! 

But there is ALSO, likely, critical context missing- to EXPLAIN that discrepancy, which would ALSO support my point if you add it.

Frivolous lawsuits do exist-  they get filed BY big corporations against OTHER big corporations as an anti-competitive measure. But frivolous lawsuits against companies are a myth made up BY companies to lobby for laws to make it harder to sue them. The whole hot coffee myth was made  up for just that purpose.
In the real world - data shows that the number of civil lawsuits per year have been steadily declining for decades - there is no frivolous lawsuit problem. There never was.

What there are is legitimate suits getting ever more difficult to file and win.
