And, while plaintiffs' lawyers no doubt gain satisfaction from sticking it to the other side, claimants themselves are too often ignored by their attorneys, harassed by the defense lawyers and generally bewildered by the whole process that, more than 9 times out of 10, leads to a compromise settlement worked out by the professionals.
