The common misconception is that when you sue someone, you gets lots of money...

Actually, when you sue someone, the LAWYERS get all the money. The old lady that spilled coffee on herself at MickeyD's got a settlement of a quarter mil, but after court and lawyers fees etc, she saw about 1/10 of that.

We are a very litigious nation, though.
