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
The sad part about a lot of these lawsuits against tobacco companies is most of it goes to the lawyers. I saw this whole big news story on it it's crazy how much the lawyers have made.
Yeah usually lawyers get about 1/3 of the settlement in civil lawsuits. It is kinda crazy, but then again they usually work for YEAAARRSSS to get the lawsuit into court, and it's pretty hard to win...
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.
