Doesn’t change my point…
There is a very very very very thick line between perfect and competent.

I mean, that’s what you get for not being perfectly obedient. If public order cannot be maintained by setting attack dogs on surrendering men, next The Anarchy.

Still does not change the point. There will always be incompetent cops also…
Heck, the FBI and intel lied about hunters laptop. And they are suppose to be the best and most honest cops ever. But they are corrupt to the bone.

It’s weird that you will berate civil servants in every position but not the ones with the guns.

Assume for a moment that the FBI is malign.

He deserves a lot more because this should not have happened
We have several incompetent politicians living in washington dc.
Lets Go Brandon
A part of the story not mentioned is the guy was on 911 the entire time he was driving, he had no idea why dozens of cop cars were following him and was afraid to pull over. Sad that the dispatcher couldn’t have communicated with the cops and found out so the guy wouldn’t worry about…well it looks like he had every right to worry.

I’ll agree. But Ben Crump is an ambulance chaser. If he represents the trucker, he’ll reap a majority of the settlement. Trucker will be left with chump change.
I believe Ohio law limits the attorney’s percentage to 33 1/3.

You’re correct. Just looked it up.
Yep them lib ambulances chasers are in it for themselves.
All he has to do is be present to get is 33% cut.

The idea of contingent fees works BOTH for attorney and client. The attorney is motivated to represent the client zealously, since when the client does better, he does better. The client doesn’t face a fee if he loses.
It makes representation possible for people who otherwise could not afford attorneys.
I do believe that all states should restrict the maximum percentage to 33 1/3% and reform class action fees, which is where the bulk of attorney fee abuse occurs.

I say 33% is to damn high. ■■■■■■■ socials are are ripping off the common people
NGOs are ripping off the people that they serve too.
Okay, thanks. How does that apply to this situation?
Actually, it does. Dead is far more serious than bitten. And he wasn’t bitten because of the mud flap. He was pulled over for that. Well, that and reusing to stop when flashed by the cop who was trying to pull him over. Had he not sped off down the road, no back-up, including the K-9 unit, would have been called by the pursuing officer and he wouldn’t have been in the situation where he got bit. He did not deserve to be bitten, but he was on the roadside on his knees entirely due to his own actions.

My firm rarely takes contingency clients (it’s a niche practice area), but when we do, we get 20-25%.
The managing partner is a softy, too - I’ve seen them not enforce a contingency agreement, and just take our fees in settlement before.
