"The average individual doesn't have the resource to themselves pay a lawyer by the hour or pay for the expenses of a lawsuit. It may cost 100, 150, 200, 3 — upwards — tens of thousands of dollars, in any event, to prosecute a lawsuit on behalf of someone who's injured.
The lawyers who can be effective for their clients and who really can do this kind of practice are going to be lawyers who not only are brainy and energetic and can read and write and stand up in front of 12 people and really talk about the injured person, but they're also people that whom themselves have the resources to put on behalf of their clients. And in contingent-fee cases, that's what happens. The lawyer pays the expenses, pays the cost and then relies upon a result to be paid and paid back for that."
America's legal system is totally ridiculous
