its like that one person suing the tobacco industry for being a smoker for 20+ years and developing cancer, she sues and WINS! I'm glad they're on the ups to do something about these crazy lawsuits
ACtually a civil suit is generally easier to win that a criminal suit. In a criminal trial it need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt where as in a civil trial you only need to prove a preponderance of the evidence.
Exactly. Remember OJ?
o. I duno. It just seems like it's hard to get the money taht the client needs and wants.
ANd also I heard the McDonalds Cofee Lady got like, nothing...
I don't know from my own personal experience it's all from talking with my proffessor who has been a lawyer for about 3
30yrs.
yeah, my "knowledge" is just from workin here, haha, and it seems like a lot of the time the clients wanted more money than what they got in the lawsuit.
And this girl i used to work with, says she took some class in college, and that they discussed different lawsuits, and that the McDonald's lady, her thighs were like REALLY badly burned like 3rd degree burns, and that she didn't get as much money as everyone rumors it to be. Somethin like that.
Of course I have no idea how true that is.
