Unfortunately, that's not how the real world works. As much as I hate it, big companies can pull this because they have the power to pull this. You suck them dry and what they'll do is fold the company. When that happens, the shareholders get their share secured, and the crumbs are left to pay debts and outstanding balances, which likely isn't enough, and screws over the smaller businesses that supplied to them, and the peck of a crumb is left to pay the families, covered by insurance, so it's going to be worse off for the families. Not only that, but you're looking at hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs being lost as a result. As far as this goes, the best case scenario is to not let them get away with under paying, but get as much as possible out of it. It might not seem like justice, but it is the best outcome for everyone, literally speaking.
Here's the thing though.. the sickness has already been inflicted, the victims are already there... Settlement means that the families get a good chunk of cash, in order to help treat the effective members of the family, or make their life better in other ways.. What would be the alternative? Jailtime for some figurehead 'leader' of the company? that good is that going to do the family? And ''the guy in charge'' is rarely the actual guy in charge.
@@eyesofibad2461 Yes, but that wasn't what the trial was about. The Trial was a lawsuit from the family's of the sick kids. Its entirely possible that after this trial, a criminal case would have been opened up by the EPA.
@@eyesofibad2461 They are suing for damages, the company could be liable and have to pay a ton of money, but it´s not a criminal case in itself. Now that they know the company knew and hid it, then they could bring criminal charges against the company leadership.
To me this is Mike's big 'I want the truth' moment in the show. Reminded me SO much of A Few Good Men.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
Yeah, good scene, but a little too close to being a knock off of a scene no one will ever forget.
Mike was fired up since he had to go up against someone named Mr. Evans.
Oliver's face is priceless haha
"Which part isn't true, the insurance policy? Because I have that right here." I swear I thought he was Harvey during this part.
I want to see Gibbs reaction after she hear this news that mike's doing good for the people.
In situations like that a settlement shouldnt be allowed. They should be sucked dry of all their worth to pay for what they did.
I forgot the detail of this case. Did 1 mil settlement to low for the lead company?

Interview no 1

@@N0AH004 no doubt
Damn mike is good.
mike went up 10x and won. INSANE.
Omg he became Harvey
damn😂😂😂😂😂
Wow he had little to no evidence of the behavior of the company and yet he made him confess
that's grounds for mistrial there
What do you mean?
Well they settled
How is this grounds for mistrial?
Couldnt the businessman plead the 5th ? Honest question, im curious.
It's not a criminal case
@@herbaHD how not? isnt what the company did a crime?
