Not so much money, of whcih there is usually very little (exception: stuff that ends up being found to cause cancer) after the lawyers take their giant cut (which is totally fair - these cases are taken on a "you don't get anything, we don't get anything" basis, and the lawyers front all the money for expert witnesses, investigations, etc). The motivation for the people filing the suit is to get the company to stop doing it.
