The best part is that at the end of the day, the Carnahans will probably
owe money anyway.

The only one who makes any money in these stupid lawsuits is the lawyers.



This is about the stupidest post of the day. Lawyer fees will be
one-thid, typically; perhaps, forty percent. They probaly spent
$25-30,000 of their own money for expenses-experts, depositions,
travel, exhibits etc. The Plaintiffs will wind up with around $2.5
million, give or take. Most or all of it will be tax free.

Of course, the conservative, anti-lawyer/civil justice crowd could
hope that their favorite solution to the "lawsuit crisis", i.e. loser
pays winner's attorney fees- would solve the problem. Then PH could
pay $5.3 million.

Question: Why was this a "stupid lawsuit"?
