[quote=Anonymous]FYI there’s no way the family directly got all $211 million. The lawyers took at least $100 million and insurance another $50 million if not more due to the length of the hospital stay, extra medication, extra attention and “treatment” given the room she stayed in, and more. Given how lengthy the legal process and due diligence was, the law firm may have taken more. I’d be surprised if the firm itself won’t ask for another appeal to seek more money as the healthcare industry is lucrative (I guess that’s where the sexual harrassment/assault case plays in, so I guess they already have started to seek more money). I’d say the family only received $50 million give or take. Sounds a lot until you realize where that money has to go: protection of the family in case of further harm, increased insurance premium, new medical costs associated with the trauma of Maya, etc.

Cases with big payouts in the headlines don’t consider the cost of law firms, especially large ones who charge $800/lawyer assigned/billable hour, and that is average.[/quote]
