Personal Injury Court

Yes, this is fake. Yes the plaintiffs and defendants are actors and actresses. The award, usually in the hundreds of thousands, tend to be problematic. I would think such high amount would require lawyers and juries to present the case. Plus prior to the court, the judge tends to determine if there is plausible suit before allowing it to go forward. So it's not a one day type of incident unless you're going to a small claims court where the maximum is usually set to 5,000 or so.

Most of the cases on this show involve a one-time incident where the plaintiff enters the defendant's property and somehow gets injured. Such things like getting attacked by an animal, getting hit by something or somehow falling down. Most of the judgement are very simple and too simple for the value of which is awarded. Most of the fitness related cases are obviously fake. Many gyms and facilities make you sign a waiver which is impossible for the courts to assign fault unless the fitness place did something obviously different from just offering fitness. Plus nearly every single house related incident in this show would be covered by your home owners insurance. There is no way they can double sue you after getting money from the insurance company and then in turn to sue you. The case would most likely be thrown out unless you didn't pay for your insurance or your insurance found you at fault and refused to pay.

If you don't believe these are fake, try looking up some of the cases name. There was one episode of a singer doing a stage dive and ending up drop kicking a fan in the back of the head. The singer does not exist anywhere despite the supposedly popularity of the singer having a tour.

Regardless, the show is rather interesting. I like the end where the lawyers come on and explain their opinions on the results. I do believe these are real lawyers but their opinions are based on the fake show. They do have a number listed under their name and they seem to exist but they are all personal injury lawyers.

Frivolous lawsuits + dramatic fever + bad acting + ridiculous awards = total waste of airtime.

This is very disappointing to know that all Litigants are not real and are actors Only. Very disappointing to know. Ugh 😐.

I been watching the show, some of the people are so fake in there crying, there is never tears, and they over react, and another thing some of these people i think are out for the money, some of them put them2 in harm way them turn around and sue, come on u put yourself in a bad situation and u know u r at fault and have the nerve to sue someone there is something wrong with that picture and as for the judge some of your verdict is so wrong and the plaintiffs dont deserve a win in their case. Just like the show i watched the lady spills sour cream and leaves never reports it, then comes back and sees that it is still there, and she walks through it and wins what the heck, if she reported the mess it would of got cleaned up, how was the workers or owner know that there was a spill, if the plaintiff saw that it was still there why would she go down that aisle she was out for money and in my eyes that was her fault she was hurt. To the judge your ruling was wrong in so many ways. There are other cases that people shouldn't of won. The judge tocme only hears what he wants to hear.

The judge's verdict awards are laughable and completely unrealistic. None of the defendants would come close to being able to pay these excessive, comical verdict amounts. THAT is not mentioned; the plaintiffs have to actually COLLECT those outlandish verdicts - not likely. I'm in the Personal injury biz and know. I do get a good laugh out of the show.
