Its really not that complicated - wealthy people can hire lawyers to sue someone, poor and middle-class people not so much.
- chmod775 4y agoSomeone who can't afford a lawyer can probably not be considered middle-class. That would mean they have no discretionary income to speak of.
- Retric 4y agoBeing able to pay a professional for to do significant amounts of work which is likely to result in zero value for you is a high hurdle. Many possibly most lawyers can’t afford to employ lawyers to sue someone.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoThere's a difference between affording a lawyer and affording a lawsuit. Suing someone risks having to pay the defendant's legal fees. And to win a complicated case probably involves hiring a law firm that has the manpower to do tons of research and so on, which costs a lot more than having your will done or looking over a contract, say.
