So if I make a lawsuit and prove there is a small possibility my toaster can cause my arm to be cut off, because that’s what it did to me, and win $400,000,000

So if I make a lawsuit and prove there is a small possibility my toaster can cause my arm to be cut off, because that’s what it did to me, and win $400,000,000 I should only get $400 if it turns out they sold 1 million units?
It’s not a class action lawsuit. If they want their cash they should sue too. That’s how our system works.
- Dylan16807 1y agoNo, you misread that pretty significantly. They're only talking about splitting up the punitive damages. Using the tesla numbers you'd get somewhere between 43 and 129 million dollars personally, plus a share of the 200 million. And your share of the 200 million would probably be a lot higher than someone merely defrauded. And the 200 million would probably get a lot bigger in a proper class action. If you want numbers for your theoretical you'll have to specify how much was compensatory and how much was punitive.
