Being hit by a motor vehicle of some sort owned by a large company with deep pockets and suffering a horrific but ultimately temporary injury with absolutely no longer-term health effects that nonetheless results in a seven figure injury settlement

Yeah but instead of the state paying you, you get to increase a big company’s insurance premiums for a while

The settlement isn’t gonna be as good if it doesn’t impact your lifetime earnings. I have a family member that litigates this shit 🤮
