If you rightfully sue Rich and Powerful Guy, and it’s his team of Johnny Cochrans against your one Podunk lawyer, you might lose, even if you’re in the right. It’s a big risk.

No. In major liability lawsuits lawyers work on a contingency. If you have a good case then very high priced lawyers will be willing to work for you for nothing until the case is settled. Also under loser pays the lawyers will still want the good cases badly enough that they will be willing to take the risk and contractually agree to absorb the costs if they lose.

I’ll take your word for it, but I hope I never have to go there.
