The traditional and foremost policy of the tort law is to deter harmful
         conduct and to ensure that innocent victims of that conduct will have
         redress. Cognate principles of equity and economic efficiency also inform
         that policy: that the costs of the pervasive injury … shall be borne by
         those who can control the danger and make equitable distribution of the
         losses, rather than by those who are powerless to protect themselves.
