Oh, everybody understands the legal system when it is they who are injured. Until then, make fun of lawyers and plaintiffs.

The "McDonald's lady" didn't win didley squat. She lost 6% of her skin (in the crotch area) and only sought $20k. She needed that money to make ends meet after not being able to work. Yes, at 79 she still had to work.
A jury first awarded her $2.7 million but that was later reduced to $480k. McDonalds still fought it and they eventually settled on an undisclosed figure below $480k.
The only real winners were the McDonald's legal team.
