Components that would simplify this are (a) limiting and simplifying damage calculation & (b) requiring companies to admit fault as part of settlements.

Currently, 'the company admits no fault' (but pays a fine), helps head off shareholder lawsuits.

If prosecuting entities and companies were instead required to include admitting fault, then shareholder suits would be much simpler.

The company has already admitted liability -> process directly to negotiation over amounts.
