    The cruise line's insurance company will cover everything. That's why everyone sues big now.

    Court costs a ton of money, its the reason why most insurance companies settle

    which in turn give people more incentive to sue

    Kevin Love takes harder hits to the head than that and he's getting about 22.5 mil this year so yea 21 mil should come down to about 15 mil.

    I'm surprised they were able to get to a jury. Cruise lines are usually notorious for getting binding arbitration into contracts.

    I know a guy who had a chunk of train bridge crash through the glass roof of his car, knock him out while he was driving and cut his face up. After the attorney got her 33% cut, he didn't even get 10 grand.

    If this guy gets 1 cent, it is a travesty.

    The first attorney that he contacted didn't even want to be bothered trying to fight with the railroad.

    Starting to? Nothing new right? Been going on for decades now. America would be a much better place if half the lawyers there dropped dead tomorrow.

    Come on. Admit it. If you had a jury willing to give it to you from the insurance company of some faceless corporation, you'd take it. Fukk it. I would. Why not. If you feel really badly about it, then give most of it away to deserving charities that will user the money for more good.

    It's not the attorneys that are to blame, it's the system thats at fault. Trials are usually reserved for criminal cases unless the prosecution finds religion

    The dude did get hit pretty hard by that door. At least he wasn't faking it.

    Give me 10k.... and I'd be happy.

    Sure, but you'd be happier with $21 mil and you'd take it.
