Sadly, suing a company or any “entity” almost always has the cards stacked against the claimant. For the few stories that get published about some cheater making false claims and getting some huge payout, I think there are hundreds (or thousands) of people who should receive compensation, but get nothing. The state of Virginia really stacks the deck against people who get injured and try to sue for negligence. The interpretation is that if the claimant has any responsibility whatsoever for the injury (... you should have been paying more attention and not tripped over that big crack in the sidewalk, or that pool of soapy water on the floor, etc., etc.), then the claimant gets nothing. It’s crazy.
