Yankeeland is a very litigious society.

Trip over a step at work over there and the employer is immediately sued for $2 billion.

Only if he changes his hobby for life and so do all 'his friends'. . . . or he gets to have a job at area 51 as the youngest one ever. (just kidding, 'they' made me say that.)

Let's face it. We're used to ethnic minorities and women skiving off the taxpayer, so this is hardly unusual.

10mil will probably cover the lawyer's bill. That only leaves 5 mill to live on. What the city and school board should do is counter sue for 30 million for stress, health care and policing costs.

If I was American i would encourage my kids to become lawyers. Then they could send their Mom on a cruise every winter.
But they wouldn't.

$10 mil would more than cover the lawyer's bill. The standard contingency fees for this kind of work are in the 33-40% range.
