Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Florida woman sues Kraft mac and cheese over preparation time
A woman sued the giant food company for an inaccurate ad on its macaroni and cheese product. She claims that it takes longer to prepare the food than the ad says if it includes the time to open the lid and sauce pouch. The lawsuit demands a five-million-dollar compensation. Why five million? Will she be paying the cost of the lawsuit including her lawyer’s fee? Nope. In the US, there are so many lawsuits demanding a huge amount of compensation from large companies for nothing. How is it possible?
A contingency fee is an arrangement in the UA that allows the client to avoid having to pay legal bills unless and until the lawsuit results in a recovery of money for the client. The client agrees to pay the lawyer a certain percentage of the amount of compensation received through legal claims after all agreed costs, such as court filing fees, expenses paid to witnesses, and travel costs, are deducted. Contingency fee agreements are often agreed upon for claims like personal injury, workers’ compensation, auto accident, medical malpractice, product liability, and construction defects, where a large amount of compensation can be expected. While it helps some people who really suffer from damage or accident to compensate for the damage or loss, this fee arrangement makes it easier to sue large companies and public organizations for little or nothing, which wastes court time and fees. In fact, it feeds the US lawsuit businesses. If you look up “contingency fee” on the web, you’ll find a lot of ads placed by US law firms.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about why there are so many lawsuits and lawyers in the US.
