Now now, you shouldn’t confuse them with facts. It is the lawyers that are making all the $$$, and they know that because, well, someone else said so.
yes and they don’t mention the suits that settle, or are lost.
Don’t forget, florida requires the parties mediate before trial.
I have seen many failed mediations where the defendanats could have avoided astronomical fees end with jury verdicts like this. (hundreds of thousands vs millions)
They also forget that lawyers collect zero on zero judgments. Often times refering their clients to a bankruptcy attorney because of the medical bills.
I honestly expect this verdict to be reduced either by the judge, the appelate courts (assuming appeal and walgreens posts a bond) OR the parties agree to a lesser amount to forgoe the appeal.
