Not about money. Oh, please. Add insult to injury, why don´t you.

As the late Detroit radio commentator J. P. McCarthy used to say, "It´s not the money, it´s the amount."

Adopt a rule making the losing party and it´s lawyer jointly and severally liable for the winning party´s costs and attorney´s fees. That will stop this sort of nonsense.

Is the "lawyer" doing this pro bono? Otherwise it´s ALL about the money.

Oh sure, Oyving. We believe you. We really do.

Imagine the lawyer´s surprise when he was approached by the plaintiff. Will he get $33 million or will he give a discount?

Punitive damages should accrue to the state, not to the plaintiffs. Think how that, along with "loser pays", would crimp the style of the "ambulance chasers".

"It´s about living in a world that´s safe,"

There is no such place. The world is dangerous.

#6 - That old 30% thing is long gone. The Lawyer will spend a few bucks to give the kid lapel pins and bumper stickers. He keeps the rest to pay for expenses...for the rest of his life and to make his family and subsequent generations independently wealthy.

It isn´t about living in a world that´s safe, it´s about lining the pocket of a shyster lawyer.

Well isn´t this just a shockeroo.

Now, now this lawyer is only doing this for the good of the children, don´t you know?/s

Didn´t take long for the sharks to start jumping out of the cesspool....

Sometime ago I read somewhere that we have 67% of all the lawyers in the WORLD!!!

Now that is an utterly depressing thought on a Sunday...

Sure. And he´ll take 50% of nothing just to prove a point and save the children.

PS. A lawyer´s getting only 1/3 is a thing of the past. That is just for doing the paperwork and arriving at a settlement without having to do a court appearance. A court appearance takes it closer to 50% these days...

Absent that $100 million how can they pay for improved security? Oh, that´s right, raise taxes.

With lawsuits brought by all the victims and survivors, there should be TRILLIONS in settlements, all of which can be provided by Connecticut taxpayers for school security.

Oyving, Oyving, Oyving, shanda von em Goyim?

He should be suing the zippy administration for allowing funding for school security to run out and not renewing the program and the funding.

Sounds like a case waiting to be thrown out.

I assumed this was a suit in behalf of a victim. No, it´s a suit in behalf of the family of a kid who heard what was going on over the intercom.

Shame on the lawyer. But equal shame on the parent of this child, who should be thanking her lucky stars that her child wasn´t killed.

Wonder when the first "responders" will begin their lawsuits for Post Traumatic Stress? Seems as if every terrible incident results in folks becoming millionaires.

When he presents his case to the judge for permission to file his case, I really hope this judge makes him explain how the state will pay for school security after he gets done stealing this money from the state/taxpayers. I hope after his stops laughing, the judge then bslaps this jerk across the courtroom. I thought the media was really sick, but this guy tops them. Sharpton could take lessons from this guy.

These parents should be glad they have their child, 20 other parents were not so lucky. Being traumatized is better than dead.

This is insane. It is all about trying to cash in! And their child is alive! Last I heard the name of these sociopathic parents were kept anonymous. That is unfari
