$50K for legal fees in a wrongful death suit??? Good luck with that.

I got sued once for $16 million for excessive force by a family that made a career out of suing government entities. Took over 2 years to resolve and wound up with a 7 day trial in federal district court in Denver. Of course, I won because everyone knew these scumbags were lying.

Bottom line: My attorney fees over 2.5 years came up to about $480,000. Insurance paid that for me but the court ordered the dumbass that sued me to repay that amount to the insurance company.

Been there, done that with the civil thing. Don't want to do it again unless my life or the life of someone I really care about is jeopardized.
