[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1561296, member: 7488"] Except that I was awarded $10k in a legal judgement. How did I lose? The tortfeasor has a judgement against them, and I have a judgement in my favor. It's a bit of an extreme example I know, but I want to point out that it is difficult to define winning and losing and determining how to split legal costs. Especially since in most all cases I have seen (and I am in auto insurance claims), the amount awarded is in the middle. But in all reality, if we believe the causes of action and judgements are inappropriate, then our problem lies with the juries of our peers, not with the legal system. We (the People) are the ones awarding these amounts of money. I am not arguing for or against tort reform, but just trying to discuss some of the nuances related to the issue. [/QUOTE]
