Reading this explains to a large degree why certain attitudes between the opposing sides in the American system are or can be contentious.

For a plaintiff attorney the costs maybe more because they defer money until it's settled. Law firms which are small and plaintiff attorneys who are fighting big cases for that matter any type of case should look into post settlement funding or lines of credit to help alleviate the pressure.
