Eh, in the US you don't even need a company nor a lawyer, a car is enough.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/1q9xx1/is_it_ok... or similar discussions: basically, when you run over someone in a car, statistically they will call it an accident and you get away scot-free.

In any case, you are right that often people in cars or companies get away with things that seem morally wrong. But not always.
