Which is why damages for this negligence should have statutory minimums. $10,000 mentioned elsewhere in this thread is a nice round number. If given a sufficient period to fix their shit (a year?), no one can complain that they've been harmed by such a requirement. I've seen this in contracts, which said basically, "since it will take years for a court to assess damages if you do this awful thing you agree not to do, we stipulate here that the damages will be $X instead."
