Week 2 EOC: Erin Brockovich

In my personal opinon, I feel the case settelment of $333 million (as stated in http://www.brockovich.com/) was a tremendos win for the firm and their cliants, however after the 40% fee, only $196 million was left to devide amongst all the residents, who on avrege only recived about $300 thousound, theer only a couple that recived “several million”. (as stated on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195685/faq ) It brings to me a question of who were the firm actually working for? The cliants or themselves? As reported in imdb, “The lawyers determined this sum confidentially by various factors, including the severity of their ailments. On average, this came to $300,000 per victim, as stated previously. Some did receive several million. Others received less. For example, Dorothea Montoya received $60,000” .
