She wants payday, payday like the other two! US seems like the biggest "sue you" country in the world.
Hasn't it been that way for years and years?
Once upon a time we'd look at all that litigation over there and shake our heads here in the UK.
Not any more.
Nowadays there seems to a growing number of people ready at the drop of a hat to instigate some form of legal action.
Our TV ads regularly feature these 'No win, no fee' cases where once they were unheard of.
As usual, unfortunately it will be the ones that are more persistent that will get results. Justice has little, if anything to do with it.
As they say, you've got to fight to win.
The really interesting development will be when the 'vaccine' injury cases ramp up. Once a legal precedent is set, the floodgates will open against what some are calling the greatest crime against humanity in history.
Unfortunately, once again, we're unlikely to see any justice as the likes of Pfizer have already been granted immunity from prosecution.
Instead it will be the government that pays.
Or to be more a little more exact, me and you.
Again, as always.
A great time for lawyers coming up, but then isn't it always a great time for lawyers?
Perhaps in this case, just to save time, we could get all the parties involved here and settle this on Judge Judy?
yup, thats very true and also sad
10 Outrageous Lawsuits That Won In Court
1. A woman sues after being hit by a ball at a baseball game.
A Massachusetts woman has filed a lawsuit against the Boston Red Sox and team owner John Henry, claiming they were negligent in 2014 when a batted ball struck her. The player had failed to inform her that he might try to throw baseballs into the stands. As a result, she suffered injuries, including facial fractures and neurological damage. On Monday, ABC News obtained a video of her remarks at Suffolk County Superior Court.
2. Exotic Dancer Wins $6.4m
A judge in Missouri has ordered a strip club chain to pay $6.4 million to an exotic dancer who says she was a victim of discrimination and retaliation. The woman, Bianca Beauchamp, sued Rick's Cabaret International Inc., citing that dancers at one of its clubs were forced to share tips with management. However, talking about what happened on stage or behind closed doors was against the management policies.
3. Elderly Woman Sues Company She Can't Remember For Negligence.
In 2005, an elderly woman, Irene Finlay, was rushed to a hospital due to a severe knee infection. She'd never met her doctor—Dr. Jacques Roy—but he operated on her knee. In 2007, she took him to court for negligence because she couldn't remember anything about him. The jury awarded her $7 million; Dr. Roy filed for bankruptcy soon after, leaving Mrs Finlay with nothing.
4. A woman wins a million dollars after a hug.

5. This Criminal Case Seems So Open and Shut
In May 2014, Jian Ghomeshi, a Canadian radio host, was accused of sexually assaulting three women. The women allege that Mr Ghomeshi beat them against their will. Mr Ghomeshi has filed a lawsuit for $55 million, claiming he is innocent and accusing two CBC employees of conspiring to get him fired over his behavior and damage his reputation after ending their romantic relationship.
6. A man compensated for tripping in a hotel
While Richard Paey was eating dinner at an Italian restaurant in 2002, he tripped on a loose carpeted stair near his table and broke his leg. He sued Olive Garden for negligence and was awarded $58,000 by a jury of his peers.
7. Woman Who Fell into Cement Mixer Wins £300,000 Injury Case.
In 2009, Pamela Somerville worked as a clerk at a cement mixing plant when she fell into one of their cement mixers and broke her leg. She then claimed compensation for her injury and won over £300,000.
8. Man Wins $1 Million After Being Served Wrong Meal.
Adam Rippon ordered roast beef sandwiches one day back in 2010; however, instead of getting him roast beef, he got pastrami sandwiches instead. As a result, he later experienced severe stomach pains after the check.
9. Woman Successfully Sues UPS After Falling Down Steps
In 2005, Jessica Pittman sued UPS when one of its delivery men left a package at her front door and then knocked over a barrier and ran down her steps. As it turns out, Pittman suffered a twisted ankle as a result. According to CBS News, the jury awarded her 1.5 million dollars for medical expenses and pain and suffering.
10. Attorney Wins $5 Mil In Excessive Fines Case.
A jury awarded $5 million to a man who spent three years in jail for an offense that should have cost him less than $100,000. Douglas Carman was charged with failing to pay back a $25,000 loan from his mother-in-law—who eventually died. The jury concluded that high-interest rates equaled excessive fees and fines.
