I wonder what the amount was that he turned down?
YES!!!!
Does his lawyer have to pay 40% of the settlement?
If only North Carolina and other states would adhere to a similar statute, these nonsensical lawsuits by "professional plaintiffs" would stop.
He who represents himself.......
I hope there's a lien on his property somewhere to make sure he pays it.
There'd be fewer of these nuisance lawsuits, too.
Yes!
Very good news.
No problemo.... at his old job, he'll have it paid off in about 4 years.
Yeah, with the jury only taking an hour to decide, it looks like his case was pretty thin.
Owch. I'll bet that day in court will do nothing to help his depression. Someone should keep an eye on him lest he step from a tall chair tethered to a short rope.
APf
Loser pays is the way to go
Works for England, they still have plenty of legit lawsuits. Companies still can't brutally kill people with a product and get away with it - as much as the dems would like you to believe.
I think a lot of the uninformed people who cry for "tort reform" don't realize that there are already protections like this one that are built into the law to discourage unreasonable claims/demands, etc.

I wonder what was the "nuisance-value offer" amount. The article doesn't say and when the link is followed, you are offered the chance to pay $124 to see the full writeup. No thank you.
Cool.
