When a highly likely outcome is a settlement depending on the scenario, I tend to disagree. They don't have to win, and everyone still gets paid - all while the entity being sued doesn't have to deal with excessive legal and PR costs. Many, many lawsuits are filed in the country simply for the settlement - and that to me is frivolous in many cases.

Settlements = money with no trial. That's what most PI lawyers go for. Jury trials are 50/50. But again, no one here is working for free.

It also involves a lot of work. Time also = money. You don't just get a email with a settlement amount and then it is over. Again, no one is working for free. No one is taking a case unless they can get paid on it.

Insurance covers their legal defense costs. There is no PR for a car accident or a slip and fall.
I know you couldn't get into law school, but have you ever been a part of a lawsuit? A jury? Your lack of fundamental knowledge of how the world works is disturbing
