I’m sure it happens all the time.

Probably spend less than that recovering from laughing.

and if she loses she can sue her lawyer for gross incompetence.

That would be grand.

She would end up with a grand. The lawyer will get $4,999,000.

if the definition of a nuisance lawsuit is when a nuisance files a lawsuit, this one fits.

This is EXACTLY what they do. Insurance companies don’t want to go to court so they settle for less than the suit asks for. Ask for the sky. You’ll end up with something, even after your lawyer takes a third.

The reverse of the above comment: people who live from one lawsuit settlement to the next one, sometimes sue even though they have a weak or even invalid case. But they know the cost of lawyers will motivate some companies to settle out of court just to make the lawsuit go away.

My mother-in-law’s partnership’s lawyer sued her for non-payment and then tried to include his time building his case in later billing.Gee, I wonder why he’s been found guilty of fraud twice. I also wonder why he’s still allowed to practice?

“Go big or stay at home.”

High expectations.

Made me think of a Laurel and Hardy bit where Stan inherited a million dollars and asked Ollie it that was more than a thousand to which Ollie replied, “YES!…it’s TWICE as much.”

Must have been a facelift gone bad.

If it’s a legitimate suit, yes……
