- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoMuch as we may decry the “lawyer disease,” when we read stories like these, we have to conclude that the only recourse for some folks is a lawsuit. It’s not helped by corporate PR efforts that gin up fervor about “frivolous” lawsuits. Like so: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/12/16/13971482/mcdonalds-coffee-lawsuit-stella-liebeck https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/12/16/13971482/... I’ve known a number of folks that have been involved in lawsuits with considerable merit, and not one received anything even close to addressing the damage they suffered; often after years of bruising court battles.
