Well, as always, lawyers take the juicy bits, leaving the actual victim with peanuts. Justice, is increasingly costly.

- fastball 6y agoIf $324,000 is peanuts then I think my nut allergy just went away.
- teachrdan 6y agoI wouldn't say that $324,000 is "peanuts." Especially considering that, in most cases, that money is not taxed because it is compensation, not earnings. The amount the plaintiff won in this case is equal to 8 or 9 years of (pre-tax!) mean or median income for a blind person in the US: https://nfb.org//images/nfb/publications/jbir/jbir15/jbir050202.html https://nfb.org//images/nfb/publications/jbir/jbir15/jbir050...
- Dirlewanger 6y ago~30% of a settlement is peanuts though. Also, do people have to pay taxes on these earnings? There goes ~30% of that if so.
