Big fish or small fish

2 yutes.

What is a ute? everything that guy just said is bullshit.

Experience > "fast return calls"

Go with the bug firm that doesn't fuck around. Best to your wife.

Simple math sounds good... 33 percent is better though you left out the percent for a trail with the small firm. Both have "plus expenses". That tells me the mega firm is going to find mega expenses to make up the difference. Plus they have more mouths to feed so to speak.

I know nothing about law but seems like it might be cheaper with the small guys if you know it is not going to trail. Are the hours billed part of that 30%?

Quick read some John Grisham books!!

Pharmaceutical companies are juggernauts. They have the judicial system in their pockets like you have lint. They will crush you and I hope they do.

i dont believe in suing people. if the side effects were disclosed, which i am assuming they were in the form of paperwork, then thats the risk you take. i know that in most cases, it is one piece of paper along with a hundred other disclaimers, liability waivers, etc etc that no body reads, my self included. But if you arent going to read all that crap, which I dont either, then you have to take the responsibility yourself. Hell, my meds for my crohns make me feel a million times better but every last one of them are "black label" drugs because of the severely high likelihood of developing cancer as a direct result of the drugs. I know this but I am not going to sue anyone since no one forced me to take the drugs. I, in no way, mean any disrespect to you or your wife. I just dont agree with suing people.

I am going to have to side with the vigilante idea, but this is only based on coolness factor as I have not sat down and crunched the percentages.

LOL thanks for your concern. To bad they've already been settling cases and share holders have been warned it looks like it's going to cost the company over 2 billion.

They were under reporting the likelihood of serious side effect by 70% to the FDA. On top of that the FDA had to force them to list the exact side effects that almost killed my wife. These side effects weren't listed on the package until a year after my wife almost died.

That's a drop in the bucket for them. Unkle sam will always protect big business. Go get your money union fag.

An important fact - the only one that wins in lawsuits like this is the law firm. Either yours or the pharma co's.

You are likely to soon experience the absolute dregs of society.

I was nearly killed by a Dr and a nursing staff in a small town starting on Christmas Eve, to busy planning their holidays and vacations to even pay attention.

good luck the lawyers will drain you before you ever get a dime out of the people your suing.

Oh I know that, but nothing you can do. The only way you can get a drug maker to talk to you is by filing a lawsuit.

You looked this up in their 10-K under "contingent liabilities" I take it? Which company?

Yep.... "it is possible that the company’s global liability insurance program may not be sufficient or fully applicable to cover all expenses and potential liability (if any) resulting from this litigation." Taken from their own report.

I'm not monday rich. A couple hundred grand doesn't change my life.

god damn youre rich!!!

[FreightTrain]

god damn youre rich!!!

LOL not hardly. Compared to the average broke ass American I'm rich, but I'm not dumb enough to think that 300k to 500k will allow me to quit my job and live at the coast for the next 50 years in the lifestyle I'm use to.
