If every person on the face of the earth sued for for harm done to them, as I understand the how lawsuits work, they can sue for the same amount of money each. The number that sue you does not reduce what you’ll need to pay.
I just cannot sue you, individually, for an unreasonable amount of money. But 50 million of us can each sue you for a reasonable amount of money for harm done. It just adds up to a lot.
Attorneys will get their fair share...
That’s my point.
A $1.5 billion judgement in this case is completely asinine given the finite number of plaintiffs WHICH ARE ALREADY KNOWN (I suspect 23 families, not sure).
Does the judge just get to say “Well, what the hell, my vermin scumbags will kickback, so it’s this much”. WTF?
