Chapter 161 Class Actions
The deer was slightly silent for a long time and did not speak.
It took a long time before she asked Lin Chen: "How many plaintiffs do we have now?" β
β52γβ Lin Chen said, "Including those who came just now, there are 67 people. This number will increase in the coming years. β
"How much is the lawyer's fee?" Lu asked slightly.
Lin Chen replied: "50%." β
The deer took a deep breath.
Exactly half!
If Lin Chen really claimed 200 million, it would be equivalent to them earning a full 100 million in this case!
- It's not a fantasy.
The best feature of a class action lawsuit is that the profits after winning the lawsuit are amazing!
As a result, most class actions are charged on a successful basis, also known as the "litigation risk" system.
In this way, a lawsuit does not require many people to participate, and the lawyer only needs to negotiate with the lead plaintiff. With the exception of the lead plaintiff, the other victims do not have to participate directly in the lawsuit and do not have to pay any fees, which greatly reduces the cost of litigation. Once the amount of compensation is determined, each victim receives a proportional amount of compensation.
"Don't have more, how can you make Ye Cheng's flesh hurt?" Lin Chen smiled and crossed his legs comfortably, "There are not many people now, and when the news is released, more victims will take the initiative to contact us." β
This is Lin Chen, if there is no interest, how can he sue people for free?
Lu hesitated slightly: "Will it be too much?" β
"We enjoy the fruits of victory, but we also take the risk of defeat."
Lin Chen said, gently patting the thick stack of documents on the table.
"It takes a lot of time and energy to investigate and collect the files of these victims. Without us, they wouldn't have gotten a penny. β
Of course, she understands these truths.
Lu sighed slightly: "But...... At least a little more just. And 50% is really too much, and the average class action lawsuit is 30%. β
Even if you only charge 30%, it is a reward of tens of millions, which is really a lot, and if you charge 50%, it is a bit like taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Lin Chen disagreed: "Our fees must be higher than ordinary law firms, if it is the same as other law firms, or cheaper than other law firms, and there are sufferers who come to the door, do you accept it or not?" If there are a lot of sufferers, which one do you take?
You take this, that blames you for being unfair; You pick that one, this one will suspect that you are bored.
In the end, you will get neither fame nor profit, you will only end up with a bunch of complaints. β
Lu was slightly helpless, picked up the heavy file bag on the table, and replied in a muffled voice: "Okay, I know what you mean." β
For example, if a senior chef is at the same price as a junior chef, customers will inevitably flock to it, and the final result must be that the senior chef is tired of cooking!
But the question is...... Lin Chen's standard is a senior chef, but Lu Weiwei's mentality is a junior chef, let the junior chef ask for the price of a senior chef, can she not be afraid?
There are a lot of documents, Lin Chen helped Lu Weiwei to carry her to her room together, and still did not forget to educate her on the way.
"Justice is a scarce resource, and it is not something that can be grabbed by running all over the streets. Therefore, it is scarce, so precious, unless it is particularly lucky, justice is destined to be enjoyed by only a small number of people. β
He sighed to himself: "If these people can meet me and meet you, they should really go to buy lottery tickets." β
Lu Weiwei: "......"
She had given up struggling, and she had never won an argument with him anyway.
Go back to your room, take a deep breath, and start reading the materials.
Start with the first book.
The file bag opened, and the paper was pulled outβdense chunks of text, obscure medical jargon, and horrific photographs of burns.
Occasionally, I see a mark under the red pen, or a reminder, or an emphasize, or a note to explain. Almost every page has it.
It's all Lin Chen's handwriting.
The deer's slight heart is like a calm lake thrown into the stone, rippling out shallow ripples......
She tried her best to overturn the case for her father.
But what is Lin Chen fighting for like this?
