If the facts are on the employee's side, then many lawyers would take such a case on contingency because Apple (or any large, successful company) has very deep pockets to pay a judgment or settlement.
Conversely, finding a lawyer to sue a small employer on contingency would be more difficult because the small employer could declare bankruptcy, making collecting a judgment difficult or impossible.
- KittenInABox 6y agoDo you actually have significant case filing you can point to about this? Genuinely asking, because it's always spoken to me that workplace abuse is extremely hard to sue over because you'll be outgunned (financially), lawyers will never work contingency because the money payout isn't worth the effort, and the employee in trying to legally defend themselves have now permanently ruined their career prospects.
- bdowling 6y ago> ...lawyers will never work contingency because the money payout isn't worth the effort... This is probably true in a lot of cases. So, whether or not suing is worth it will depend on the specific facts of a case. > ...the employee in trying to legally defend themselves have now permanently ruined their career prospects. I agree this is a significant issue.
