The foundation of the laws pertaining to damages is the commandment of loving our fellow man. When we care about others, we will be careful not to do anything that will cause them damage or suffering. When kind and compassionate people study these laws, they do not think in terms of how much money they will have to pay, but in terms of what they can do to avoid causing others any loss or pain. Studying the commandments in the proper way will increase your sensitivity to the possibilities of your harming others.
