How to get sued for $1.5 million for personal injury while taking a shower.

53. Well, there's no way to know that for sure.

I agree with you on that. The fact that the case survived summary judgment, in fact, usually means that Plaintiff ought to win. That, as I am sure you know, is how the system works. Plaintiff has to jump over quite a few hurdles just to get the case in front of a jury, and if Plaintiff gets all the way to a jury, he or she is really expecting to win.

That said, juries are unpredictable. Sometimes Plaintiffs lose.

But, surely, you can see this from my perspective. Try working for someone for two or more years and getting paid nothing. It sucks. Plaintiffs' attorneys avoid that if at all possible. I will not take a case unless I have good reason to believe (medical records are required, usually) that a real injury has occurred.
