There is nothing stoping you from getting involved in a much more complex scheme of contracts. You could easily set up a system where a web of trust filtered, community funded "court" creates a wallet that is used for mitigating disputes. If a judgement (done by key signing votes) goes against a user you decrement how much they are going to get after the period ends and you increment how much the claimant gets. If nobody gets into a conflict at the end of the period everybody votes to send back all the money to everyone's respective wallets.

Your word "easily" translates to "I haven't really thought hard about it and I am not an expert but it seems easy to me." That is a trap for beginners to cryptographic systems. Getting it right in all details is HARD, as has been proven time and again by failures. The theory is hard, the implementation is hard, and making it usable is hard.
