Personal Injury Resources

Sometimes it's hard to know how much you'll receive as a participant in a class action suit. This blogger was not happy with his settlement in the Firestone case. He even looked at how judges make awards.

My research (summary here) shows that awards against out-of-state defendants are much higher in states that select their judges using partisan elections compared to other states. I have little doubt that the plaintiff's lawyers (or their firm) are big contributors to Judge Donald Floyd's reelection campaign (this is neither illegal nor uncommon in Texas).
